Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 spicy red chili (chopped (optional, for more heat factor))
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 shallot (minced)
  • 1 cup chopped kimchi (squeezed of their juices)
  • 2 cups steamed rice (day old rice is ideal for fried rice)
  • 3 tablespoons kimchi juice
  • 3 tablespoons gochujang
  • 2 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 3 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
  • For Serving/Garnish. Fried eggs (chopped green onion, toasted sesame seeds, chili flakes.)

Instruction

  • Squeeze the kimchi to release its liquids into a bowl and save the kimchi juice. Chop the kimchi into bite-sized chunks.
  • Heat the oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the chopped chili pepper (if using) and stir fry for 2 minutes to soften.
  • Add the garlic and shallot and stir fry for 30 seconds to let the garlic bloom.
  • Add the chopped kimchi and stir fry for 1 minute.
  • Stir in the rice, kimchi juice, gochujang and soy sauce. Stir fry for 2-3 minutes, or until the rice is fully mixed and cooked to your liking.
  • Stir in the sesame oil and remove from heat.
  • Serve into bowls with garnish. Enjoy!
