About the Recipe
Ingredients
4 cups cooked jasmine rice (preferably day-old)
1 1/2 cups chopped kimchi, drained
3 tablespoons kimchi juice
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon gochujang (Korean red pepper paste)
1 teaspoon sesame oil
4 fried eggs (optional)
Toasted sesame seeds, for garnish
Preparation
Step 1
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil, followed by the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 2
Add the chopped kimchi to the skillet and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, until it starts to soften. Stir in the gochujang and kimchi juice, mixing well to combine all the flavors.
Step 3
Add the cooked rice to the skillet and mix well, ensuring that the rice is evenly coated with the kimchi mixture. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Drizzle the soy sauce and sesame oil over the rice, then add the chopped green onions, stirring to combine.
Step 4
Serve the kimchi fried rice hot, topped with a fried egg (if desired) and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds. Enjoy your delicious, spicy kimchi fried rice!
