KIMCHI FRIED RICE
This is a very basic kimchi fried rice, a humble dish made with leftover rice, kimchi, and usually a processed meat like Spam®. In this recipe I used cubed ham and veggies I had in the fridge. Serve with a sunny side up egg over top if you like.

Steps:
- Whisk together the soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, gochujang, honey, sesame oil, garlic and reserved kimchi liquid in a medium bowl until combined. Measure out 1/2 cup of the soy marinade and reserve it for the rice.
- Add the shrimp to the bowl with the remaining marinade and toss until completely coated. (If time allows, let sit uncovered at room temperature for 30 minutes to let the marinade penetrate.) Drain through a medium-mesh strainer, discard the marinade and return the shrimp to the bowl.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat until it shimmers and tiny wisps of smoke are visible. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook, flipping once, until browned on both sides, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to a large bowl.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil in the same skillet over high heat and cook the onions until translucent and just tender, stirring often, about 2 minutes. Add 1/3 cup of the reserved marinade and cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has almost evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the onion mixture to the bowl with the shrimp.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil in the same skillet over high heat and cook the kimchi, tossing often, until most of the liquid has evaporated and the kimchi is lightly browned in spots, about 2 minutes. Add the basil and toss to wilt. Transfer to the bowl with the shrimp.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil in the same skillet over high heat. Add the beaten eggs and cook, stirring vigorously, for 10 seconds (no, really, 10 seconds). Transfer to the bowl with the shrimp and break up the eggs into 1-inch pieces.
- Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in the same skillet over high heat. Add the rice, patting it down into an even layer and breaking up any clumps, and let fry undisturbed for 1 minute. Vigorously toss, breaking up any clumps, until the grains have dried out, separated and start to crisp and lightly brown, about 3 minutes.
- Add the shrimp mixture to the rice and vigorously toss (or stir) until completely combined and the shrimp mixture is evenly distributed throughout the rice. Season with the remaining soy marinade if necessary, adding 1 tablespoon at a time and tossing well to combine, until seasoned as desired.
- Top the fried rice with the scallions before serving.

VEGAN KOREAN KIMCHI FRIED RICE
This is one of my favorite vegan recipes to use leftover jasmine rice. The key to Korean fried rice is to use one-day-old, leftover rice; freshly cooked rice causes the fried rice to be sticky and soggy in texture. I usually present this dish on a square plate. Garnish with green onions, cherry tomatoes, sesame seeds, and cilantro to bring color and provide an extra visual of texture and crunch.

FRIED KIMCHI
Kimchi is a popular Korean side dish featuring fermented cabbage. Other vegetables can be used and applied with the same fermentation process to produce a similar taste and different textures. In this recipe, I fry some kimchi to completely alter the taste and texture for a smoky doppelganger! It is so great with Korean barbeque and with plain old rice. It is certainly one of my favorites and so easy to make. Enjoy hot or cold! Sprinkle sesame seeds on top as a garnish.

CORNED BEEF KIMCHI FRIED RICE
There's nothing quite as deeply and profoundly flavorful as caramelizing fermented foods, which is why you've got to try this kimchi fried rice and top it with 2 poached or fried eggs; the runny yolk will mix into and moisten the rice, taking this to a whole other level. The poached egg also paired quite nicely with my 'landweed' garnish, some fresh nasturtium from my garden, as it does with the much more traditional shredded seaweed.

KIMCHI FRIED RICE WITH BELL PEPPER
Found this Korean rice recipe on a site a while back and I've been making it this way ever since. I add a bell pepper to mine or other veggies I might have (once some chopped celery). This goes great with bulgogi and roasted seaweed (kim). Btw, you can get Korean red pepper flakes and Korean red pepper paste (gochujang) from Amazon if you don't have an Asian market near you. You can also get the seaweed there!

KIMCHI FRIED RICE
Steps:
- Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil. Add the carrots and cook for 1 minute. Drain the carrots and reserve on a plate.
- For this dish, you need to have everything ready to go before you start to cook in the wok.
- Combine the soy sauce, sake and sesame oil in a small bowl for the liquid seasonings.
- Preheat a large wok over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the peanut oil and swirl to coat. Add the egg. Tilt the wok, scraping and breaking up the egg. As soon it's cooked, place on a plate. Wipe out the wok, if necessary.

KIMCHI FRIED RICE
Not the high-heat stir-fry you might expect, Grace Lee's home-style fried-rice recipe uses a simple technique - make an easy, flavorful kimchi sauce, mellowed out with butter, and sauté leftover rice in it. It's perfect for a snack or a quick, simple meal. The Spam, though optional, reflects many Koreans' love of foods introduced by the American military.

Tips:
- Choose the right kimchi: For the best results, use fresh, high-quality kimchi. Look for kimchi that is bright red in color and has a spicy, tangy flavor.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pan: A heavy-bottomed pan will help to distribute heat evenly and prevent the kimchi from burning.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When frying the kimchi, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the kimchi from cooking evenly.
- Cook the kimchi over medium heat: Cook the kimchi over medium heat until it is heated through and slightly browned. This will take about 5-7 minutes.
- Serve the kimchi immediately: Fried kimchi is best served immediately. It can be enjoyed as a side dish, over rice, or in a wrap.
Conclusion:
Fried kimchi is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish, over rice, or in a wrap. With its spicy, tangy flavor and crispy texture, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give fried kimchi a try!
