HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

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

02

Add the chopped kimchi to the hot pan and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

03

Add the cooked white rice to the pan, breaking up any clumps with your spatula. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes, ensuring the rice is heated through and slightly toasted.

04

Push the rice mixture to one side of the pan, creating an empty space. If needed, add a small splash of oil to the empty side. Crack the eggs into this space and scramble them until just set.

05

Once the eggs are mostly cooked, mix them into the rice and kimchi mixture, combining everything thoroughly.

06

Stir in the soy sauce and sesame oil, tossing to coat all ingredients evenly.

07

Remove from heat, garnish with sliced green onions, and serve immediately.

Chef's Tips

For the best texture, always use day-old, cold rice as it is less sticky and fries up better. Adjust the amount of kimchi to your personal spice preference; you can add more for extra heat. For an extra boost of protein, consider adding cooked spam, bacon bits, or cubed firm tofu during the stir-frying step.

Easy Substitutions

For a vegetarian version, ensure your kimchi is fish-sauce-free or use a vegetarian alternative. Brown rice can be used instead of white rice for a healthier, fiber-rich option. If you like more heat, a dash of gochujang (Korean chili paste) or sriracha can be mixed in with the soy sauce.

Storage & Reheating

Store any leftover kimchi fried rice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, microwave until warm or gently warm on the stovetop with a tablespoon of water to prevent it from drying out.
