Jeon Soyeon: ‘I Don’t Eat Vegetables or Kimchi… My Mom Always Felt Sorry for Me’

Jeon Soyeon from (G)I-DLE shared a recipe for kimchi fried rice that does not require kimchi.

Pixid, on the 12th, released a new installment of their web series “Rural Cooking Adventure”entitled “I Prepared and Consumed a Massive Tomahawk Steak on a Lid – Bigger than My Face!”

Jeon Soyeon, known for her dislike of vegetables, grilled pork belly in this episode and then announced her plans to make kimchi fried rice using the pork belly fat. Despite her previous declaration that she doesn’t eat kimchi, she opted to leave it out of the dish, resulting in a kimchi-free version of the popular fried rice dish.

Initially, she skillfully cut the green onions into thick slices and extracted their oil before removing them. Subsequently, she stir-fried the rice, solely utilizing the kimchi juice to enhance the flavor. While preparing the fried rice, Jeon Soyeon revealed, “My mother purposely prepares an abundance of kimchi juice for me.”

Next, Jeon Soyeon mixed in gochujang, the rest of the pork belly, sesame oil, oyster sauce, sugar, and an egg to create a version of kimchi fried rice without using actual kimchi. However, upon sampling the dish, the director jokingly remarked that it resembled egg fried rice in flavor.
