Chef's Tips

Using day-old, cold rice is crucial for fried rice as it prevents the dish from becoming mushy. For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of sugar to balance the kimchi's acidity.

Easy Substitutions

If you don't have Spam, you can substitute with diced ham or even firm tofu. For a vegetarian option, omit the Spam and add more vegetables like peas or carrots. Adjust gochujang to your spice preference.
