Kimchi Fried Rice
Kimchi Fried Rice is Korean home cooking, eaten at lunch and dinner. On the plate it is the dish at the centre. Below is what usually sits beside it, what it does and does not contain, and what else to cook once you have made it.
Ingredients
- 5 cups cooked day-old rice
- 2 cups vegan kimchi
- 2 tbsp gochujang
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 3 garlic cloves
- 4 scallions
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- 3 tbsp neutral oil
How to cook it
- Heat 2 tbsp neutral oil in a large skillet over high heat and cook the garlic and chopped kimchi until sizzling, about 3 minutes.
- Stir in the gochujang and soy sauce and cook 1 minute.
- Add the rice, breaking up any clumps, and fry until hot and slightly crisp, about 5 minutes.
- Drizzle with sesame oil and half the scallions and toss, then divide among plates.
- Fry the eggs in the remaining oil until the edges crisp and the yolks stay runny.
- Top each portion with a fried egg, sesame seeds, and the remaining scallions.
