Ingredients
- 200g pork belly or pork loin, sliced

- 2 tablespoons soy sauce

Preparation Steps
Start by preparing the teriyaki sauce. In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, honey (or mirin), and a teaspoon of water. Set aside.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced pork and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add a little sesame oil. Sauté garlic and ginger until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the cooked rice, breaking up any clumps, and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes.
Add the chopped kimchi to the rice and stir well. Pour in the prepared teriyaki sauce and cook for another 2 minutes, ensuring everything is evenly coated and heated through.
Return the cooked pork to the skillet, mixing thoroughly. Cook for an additional minute to combine flavors.
