Ambitious Deliciousness – Dont Eat Lazy.

As a food blogger, you’d think I could remember to take photos of what I make, especially for special occasions. It seems that often forget to get good photos, then regretting it. Sigh. When will I ever learn?

Thanks for the pic, seester!

It happened once again while I was cooking dinner for our wedding party, in honor of my fiance’s birthday this past weekend! During the process of figuring out an Italian themed menu, I became obsessed with a particular pork belly porchetta recipe. I say obsessed, because I searched high and low for the perfect piece of pork -  whole, boneless, rind-on belly with the rib meat. Apparently, you can get it special ordered at a butcher, at most places!

For those of you who might not know, what is porchetta?

I know that I’ve topped pizza with kimchi before, so why not pasta? It’s essentially the same thing as rice, as both pasta and rice are flavorless (yet delicious) carbs.

This would have better with pork belly but pork chops are all I had! I would totally make this again because it’s quite simple to make, not to mention, delicious!

The idea behind this dish is quite similar to kimchi fried rice, with the addition of gochujang (red pepper paste) mixed with a little bit of broth to give more flavor and liquid to the sauce.

And after I gobbled this up, I realized that an egg on top would have been even better. Makes for a quick, weeknight meal. You should give it a try!
