Peel, then cut shallots into 1/4-inch pieces. Heat a medium pot over medium heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4ppl), then shallots. Cook, stirring often, until softened, 1-2 min. Add rice, broth concentrates and 1 1/2 cups water (dbl for 4ppl). Cover and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low. Cook, still covered, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min.
While rice cooks, peel, then cut carrots into 1/2-inch thick half-moons. Peel, then mince or grate garlic. Peel, then grate 1/2 tbsp ginger (dbl for 4ppl). Thinly slice the green onions.
In a large bowl, combine pork, panko, ginger and half the garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Roll pork mixture into 8 equal sized meatballs (dbl for 4ppl). Transfer meatballs to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in middle of oven until cooked through, 10-12 min.**

In another large bowl, whisk together soy sauce, gochujang, remaining garlic, 1 tsp sugar and 1/4 cup water (dbl both for 4ppl). Set aside. When meatballs are finished cooking, transfer to gichujang mixture. Stir together, until meatballs are fully coated with sauce.
