This simple, simple dish is super, super tasty. It's just a few ingredients, but it's a dish much loved by Koreans. This version is simple, but you can dress it up with a bit of beef or pork.

Categories     Fried rice

Time 9m

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 bowls steamed rice (3 cups)
1 cup chopped kimchi
¼ cup kimchi juice
¼ cup water
2-3 tablespoons gochujang
3 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 green onion, chopped
1 tablespoon roasted sesame seeds
1 sheet of gim, roasted and shredded

Steps:

  • Heat up a pan. Add the vegetable oil.
  • Add the kimchi and stir fry for 1 minute.
  • Add rice, kimchi juice, water, and gochujang.
  • Stir all the ingredients together for about 7 minutes with a wooden spoon.
  • Add sesame oil and remove from the heat.
  • Sprinkle with chopped green onion, roasted gim, and sesame seeds. Serve right away.

Tips:

  • Use fresh kimchi: Fresh kimchi has a more vibrant flavor and texture than store-bought kimchi. If you can, make your own kimchi at home or find a local Korean grocery store that sells fresh kimchi.
  • Don't overcook the rice: The rice should be cooked through but still have a slight bite to it. If you overcook the rice, it will become mushy and the dish will be less flavorful.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Kimchi fried rice is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Some good options include carrots, onions, celery, and bell peppers.
  • Add protein: Kimchi fried rice is a great vegetarian dish, but you can also add protein to it, such as chicken, beef, or pork. If you're adding meat, cook it before adding it to the rice.
  • Season to taste: Kimchi fried rice should be flavorful but not too spicy. Add soy sauce, gochujang, and sesame oil to taste until you achieve the desired flavor.

Conclusion:

Kimchi fried rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover rice and vegetables. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give kimchi fried rice a try!
