Procedure

Preparation

Cut the pork into thin strips roughly 1/8 inch thick/wide, and about 1 1/2 inches in length, then lightly salt and pepper.

Coarse chop the onion and sweet pepper

Thin slice the garlic from top to bottom.

Trim the scallion/green onion, removing any discolored leaves, then chop.

Chop the chives.

Cut kimchi into roughly 1/2 inch pieces.

Break two of the eggs into the steamed rice and mix well.

Break the remaining eggs into a mixing bowl and beat lightly.

In a separate bowl, combine all sauce ingredients and mix well. Add a small amount of water if needed to thin the mixture.

Cook

Lightly coat a pan with oil and heat over medium high heat.

Add chopped onion and sliced garlic, cook for thirty seconds to one minute.

Add seasoned pork and stir fry about on minute or until very lightly browned.

Add soy sauce, kimchi, chives, and scallion, and stir fry about two or three minutes.

Remove from heat/pan and set aside.

Add more oil to pan and heat over medium high heat.

Add rice/egg mixture and stir fry until the rice separates/no longer clumps (about four minutes).

Add pork/kimchi mixture and stir fry about three more minutes.

Remove from heat and set aside.

Lightly oil a separate large pan and heat over medium low heat.

Pour 1/2 of the beaten egg into the pan and heat until the top just begins to set.

Spoon 1 half of the stir fried rice mixture into the center of the egg sheet, fold the edges over the rice, and flip/turn once.

Repeat for second omelet.

Serve hot with chili ketchup sauce.
