✎
HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

02

Add 1 pound of ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

03

Stir in 1/2 cup of chopped kimchi, 2 tablespoons of kimchi juice, and 2 cloves of minced garlic. Cook for 2 minutes until fragrant.

04

Add 3 cups of day-old cooked white rice to the skillet. Stir well to combine with the beef and kimchi mixture.

05

In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of gochujang and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce. Pour this sauce over the rice mixture.

06

Continue to stir-fry for 3-5 minutes, ensuring all ingredients are well combined and heated through. The rice should develop a slightly crispy texture.

07

Divide the Korean Beef and Kimchi Fried Rice among 4 serving bowls. Garnish with sliced scallions before serving.

Chef's Tips

For extra flavor, you can add a fried egg on top of each serving. Adjust the amount of gochujang to your preferred spice level. Using day-old rice is crucial for the best fried rice texture, as fresh rice can become mushy.
↔

Easy Substitutions

Ground pork or chicken can be used instead of ground beef. If you don't have gochujang, you can use sriracha for heat, but the flavor profile will be different. A dash of fish sauce can add extra umami if desired.

Storage & Reheating
