Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we’ve revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

  1. Make the pickled cucumber; peel the cucumber into ribbons and place in a bowl with half the sesame seeds, juice from half the lime and a pinch of sea salt.
  2. Make the smashed avocado; dice the avocado into 2cm cubes and place in a small bowl with the juice from half the lime and a good pinch of sea salt.
  3. Dice the pepper into 2cm chunks. Heat a large frying pan with 1 tsp oil on high heat. Once hot, add the pepper and slow cooked pork. Cook for 7-8 mins, until the peppers soften and the pork is soft. Gently pull apart the pork with two forks. Add 50ml of water (25ml for 1 person). Then add the gochujang paste and cook for a further minute, stirring to combine.
  4. Heat another large frying pan on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the rice and 50ml water (25ml for 1 person). Cook for 2-3 mins, breaking up with a wooden spoon until piping hot. Season with sea salt.
  5. Serve the rice in bowls, topped with the slow cooked pork, cucumber ribbons and smashed avocado. Sprinkle with the remaining sesame seeds.
