All the korean dramas I watch these days in the middle of the night always make me crave for some korean cuisine. I love korean food. They are so exquisite, healthy, and delicious. Here is something simple you can whip up within 15 mins tops. I tweaked the recipe so this is not authentic kimchi fried rice but nevertheless, it still taste awesome.
serves 4-5 people
Ingredients
3 cups of cooked rice (cold preferably)
1 cup chopped kimchi
¼ cup kimchi juice
¼ cup water
2-3 tablespoons gochujang (red pepper paste)
3 teaspoons sesame oil
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 green onion*, chopped
1 tablespoon roasted sesame seeds*
1 sheet of kim* (seaweed), roasted and shredded
1 teaspoon garlic
1 cup meat* (ham, thin sliced pork/chicken/beef, your call)
*optional
Directions
Heat up a pan. Add the vegetable oil.
Add garlic and fry then add kimchi and stir fry for 1 minute.
Add meat if you're having it.
Add rice, kimchi juice, water, and gochujang. Stir all the ingredients together for about 7 minutes with a wooden spoon. Mix it real good. Using cold rice/leftover rice makes it easier to mix because hot rice will stick together, making it difficult to mix well.
Add sesame oil and remove from the heat.
Sprinkle with chopped green onion, roasted gim, and sesame seeds.*
Serve right away.
