I've finally discovered the best Korean sauces with no additives, and they've completely changed the way I cook! This incredible company lives by the motto "Food as Medicine," ensuring that each product is made with the purest ingredients to nourish both body and soul. Wangshin's mission is to bring the authentic, bold flavors of Korea right to your family table. To showcase these amazing sauces, we're featuring a delicious Pork Fried Rice with Kimchi, packed with vibrant flavors that will elevate your meals to a whole new level.
I first met with Wangshin at a tasting event in 2024, and I was hooked right from the start. As someone who's always been drawn to Asian flavors, especially Korean cuisine, I couldn't resist giving their sauces a try. After tasting their fish sauce and smoked soy sauce, I was completely sold. It was clear that these sauces were something special, and I couldn't wait to bring them into my own kitchen. I truly hope you enjoy them as much as our family has - they've become a staple in our Asian meals!

Instructions
This Pork Fried Rice with Kimchi recipe is written with the assumption you have day old rice handy and ready to use. It will still work with freshly cooked rice but allow yourself more time for that process. Use day old rice for BEST results.
If needing to toast sesame seeds:
Heat up a skillet or wok on medium low for 3-4 minutes. You will know it's ready when the skillet is too hot to touch. Then, pour in your sesame seeds and allow them to roast for 60 seconds. After the 60 seconds, move them around every 10-15 seconds in a circular motion. Keep roasting until seeds look golden brown.
- Step 1: Prepare ingredients by finely mincing garlic and ginger, slicing kimchi and scallions, dicing onion and whisking 3 eggs. Toast Sesame Seeds if needed.
- Step 2: In a bowl, mix together marinade ingredients (fish sauce, gochujang and 1 cup soy sauce). Place in pork cutlets and marinate for at least 1 hour.
Hint: Marinating overnight is even better!
- Step 3: Remove pork from marinade and season with Kimchi Sprinkles. (Can substitute and use ginger powder, salt, pepper, and garlic powder).
- Step 4: Heat a large skillet or wok on medium heat with 2 tablespoon Oil. Cook pork for 3 minutes on each side or until internal temperature reaches 145°F. Remove from skillet.
- Step 5: With skillet or wok still on medium heat, add in diced onion. Once tender, remove from skillet.
- Step 6: Place 2 tablespoon oil into the same heated skillet. Break up rice with your hands and add rice to the skillet. Cook rice until it developed a crust and then flip and cook other side (6-8 minutes per side).
- Step 7: Move rice to outer sides of the skillet to form a 'well' in the middle. Melt butter in the 'well'. Then, add in garlic and ginger and cook for 2 minutes. Then, add in whisked eggs and cook for 2 minutes.
- Step 8: Add in cooked onions and sliced kimchi. Mix together all the ingredients in the skillet. Pour in soy sauce and fish sauce and cook fried rice for another 5 minutes. Serve rice with sliced pork, toasted sesame seeds and scallions on top.
Substitutions for Pork Fried Rice with Kimchi
- Meats - I've also made this recipe with steak. That can be found here. It's also great topped with shrimp!
- Kimchi - If you're not a fan of Kimchi, simply leave it out. You can also sub it out for sliced cabbage, broccoli or zucchini. All work great!
- Vegetarian - Leaving out the pork is a great option as well! Sub if out for more eggs or tofu to add protein. I also have a Vegetarian Stir Fry that you'd love!
