Serves 4
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tablespoon minced fresh ginger
2 scallions, minced
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 teaspoons honey or sugar
1/8 teaspoon red chile flakes
2 Tablespoons neutral oil
4 cups cooked white rice (preferably cooked the day before)
1 cup of cooked protein (diced ham, roasted chicken or turkey..)
2 cups of cooked vegetables ( roasted carrots or brussel sprouts...)
1/2 cup kimchi chopped (optional)
2 Tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
Heat an oven to 400º
Oil a 13x18 half sheet pan and set aside.
Stir together the garlic, ginger, scallions, soy sauce and honey/sugar in a large bowl. Add the cooked rice*.
Spread this in an even layer on the oiled sheet pan and place in the oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the rice is fully heated through and starting to crisp up.
Spread the cooked protein, vegetables and kimchi (if using) on top of the rice and place back in the oven for another 10-15 minutes to fully heat the added ingredients.
Remove from the oven and garnish the top with toasted sesame seeds.
*you can use raw vegetables and protein, cut them up small and add them with the rice.
