SESAME BUTTERNUT
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the butternut on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, sesame oil, NOMU rub, and season. Roast in the hot oven until golden, 20-25 minutes (shifting halfway). Alternatively, air fry at 200°C until crispy, 15-20 minutes (shifting halfway).
RICE
Place the rice in a pot with 150ml [300ml]|#7DA0D7 of salted water. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the water has been absorbed, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and steam, 8-10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and cover.
Pork BELLY
Combine the garlic, gochujang sauce, and a splash of water. Place a pan over medium-high heat with a light drizzle of oil. Pat the Pork dry with paper towel and season. When hot, sear the pork until crispy, golden brown, and cooked through, 8-10 minutes per side (shifting occasionally until all the sides are golden). In the final 1-2 minutes, discard the excess oil and baste with the gochjang sauce. Remove from the pan with all the pan juices. Rest for 5 minutes before thinly slicing.
FRIED RICE
Return the pan, wiped down if necessary, to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Fry the onion and the Corn until lightly golden, 4-6 minutes (shifting occasionally). Mix in the rice and the Cabbage. Fry until combined and warmed through, 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat and season.
