Chicken bokumbap

I saw this wonderful Youtube video of a lady named Tamar cooking bokumbap.  She made it look very easy and the finished dish looked very delicious.  I wanted to make bokumbap too!  I like kimchi and korean food! Unlike japanese food which I think is not filling and expensive, korean food is surprisingly cheap, filling and healthy.

I decided to modify Tamar’s recipe a little and make it into more of a paella dish thingy. (If there is such a thing! LOL)

I got chinese sausage, onion, bell peppers and I chopped them all up.

I had kimchi and gochujang ready.  They were surprisingly cheap.  About 4 dollars or 200 pesos for the two of them.  I got the gochujang from a korean grocery near my dorm.

Then I cooked half a kilo of ground chicken.  I didn’t have turkey so chicken had to do.  I fried them up in some olive oil.  When the chicken was done, I added the veggies and the sausages.

After a while I added rice and kimchi and 1 tbsp of gochujang and mixed the whole thing really fast to prevent the rice from browning.

I forgot to put in the egg and sesame seeds that Tamar used in the video! I had sesame seeds left over from my making kimbap and the eggs were in the fridge where I had forgotten all about them.

The dish turned out great and absolutely delicious.  I’m making this dish again! It’s very easy and very fun to make.
