KIMCHI RICE
Boil the kettle. Place the rinsed rice in a pot with 200ml 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 set aside to steam, 8-10 minutes. Fluff with a fork, add the kimchi, the cucumber pieces and seasoning. Cover and set aside.
PLUMP EDAMAME & MAYO
Submerge the edamame beans in salted boiling water until plumped up, 3-4 minutes. Drain and set aside. Loosen the mayo with a splash of water until drizzling consistency.
CRISPY KASSLER
Place a pan over high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the kassler chunks until crispy, 5-6 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan, season and set aside.
TIME TO DINE
Make a bed of the kimchi rice, top with the crispy kassler, and the plumped beans. Drizzle over the mayo and the lemon juice (to taste). Garnish with the picked coriander and the seeds. Enjoy, Chef!
