What is your favorite Asian vegetable? Mr. 197’s favorite is Kimchi! I can’t imagine it when I heard about it the first time. But it all makes sense, it is with a strong flavor, it’s spicy, of course, he loves it!
So kimchi fried rice is an easy solution when I need to prepare a quick meal for both of us! It’s so simple, yet so delicious! To make it even better, add a fried sunny egg on top!
Kimchi Fried Rice
Easy, healthy, spicy meal option!
Ingredients
- 1 cup rice Asian rice cup, or your usual portion for 2 people
- 300 g Kimchi
- 1 tbsp Korean Chili Paste Gochujang
Optional
- Green Onion Garnish
- Sesame Garnish
- Egg
Instructions
- Cook the rice. If you have/use overnight rice, that's better.
- In a saucepan, with high heat, stir fry the kimchi for a few mins. If you have some juice from the kimchi, keep it.
- Add the rice to the kimchi, if you have kimchi sauce, add it in. Mix until all the rice is orange-red from the kimchi.
- Add in the spoon of chili paste, mix well. If you are using cold rice, you may want to fry it for a bit more to make them warm, if not, it's ready to serve.
- Add some chopped green onions and sesame as a garnish. And top it up with a sunny egg if you like.
Notes
If you use fresh rice, it will be moister. So you may want to reduce the kimchi juice being used and vice versa.
