Pork bulgogi meatballs with carrots & zucchini over rice

1 serving prepared - heavily modified

Here's what you get:

Zucchini

Ground pork

Sesame oil

Sriracha

Scallions

Shredded carrot

Jasmine rice

Sesame seeds

Extras:

Homemade bulgogi sauce

GF pretzel crumbs

Honey

Tamari

Not pictured/used:

Bulgogi sauce

Panko bread crumbs

Ginger (I didn't receive any)

Lime (I didn't receive any)

The rice:

This went on first. I cooked 1/4 cup of dry rice in 1/2 cup of water with avocado oil and rice vinegar for 15 minutes.

The protein:

The meatballs were prepared a few hours before dinner. I had to substitute with my own bulgogi sauce and gf pretzel crumbs in place of the panko. These were mixed and set to rest in the fridge.

The bulgogi sauce is the same as a previous recipe I made with the addition of pear. Check this out: the Colonel's original recipe

Total cook time on the meatballs was 12 minutes and they were coated with a honey tamari mix during the last two minutes in pan.

The zucchini and carrots:

Because the carrots were shredded they were as quick to cook as the zucchini. I used a little bit of the sesame oil to cook these.

The plate:

Again!

This bulgogi recipe is really good although it's heavily relying on a flavor mix that I've made myself. And I already know that I like the mix that I've made. Either way! This dish works really well, there's nothing I would change about it... besides all of the stuff I had to change about it...

Bacon butter!

Making: Today I'll be making bacon butter. Whenever I make bacon I save the grease. Now that I have enough it will be turned into batches of bacon butter. I used about 2.75 sticks of butter total. Cut into jars then I let them sit until the butter was close to room temperature. The bacon fat I have collected (Stored in the refrigerator) was heated in bits over a double boiler until liquified but not too hot. The melted bacon fat was poured over the butter. You can use a strainer to get rid of and chunky bits and then mixed until well incorporated. The smaller jars have just over 3 oz butter. The bigger jar has 4.3 oz butter. Here are the finished jars. These will be stored in the fridge and used to cook veggies and sear meats. You could also put herbs in the jar for different flavors. - Kris

While the water was coming to a boil I coated the pork chops in the spice and set them aside. The potatoes were steamed for 10 minutes at med-high heat first then the heat was turned to warm. I put the asparagus into the steamer basket with them and put the lid back on the pot. I used my cast iron pan, heating it up (high temp) before placing half of the butter into it. Pork chops were cooked in the pan, turned down to medium heat for a total of 8 minutes, 4 minutes for each side. Once they were done I took them out of the pan ...
