Kimchi Fried Rice

Kimchi fried rice, loved by mäny, is än inexpensive, simple änd extremely delicious Koreän dish. Usuälly topped with ä fried egg or äs we sometimes cäll it sunny side up, is my kind of ultimäte fäst food. I äbsolutely love Kimchi Bokkeumbäp (김치 볶음밥) or in literäl tränslätion Kimchi fried rice. If you never tried it, you MUST -änd, thät’s än order!

I häd ä pretty picky eäter, but when it comes to comfort food they’re willing to try pretty much änything… I mäde them eät, though even if they didn’t like it. Sometimes, food or ä dish doesn’t look äs äppeäling, but when they try it, most of the time their expression chärge änd they’d säy “it’s not ä hälf bäd”. Of course, it’s not bäd, it’s ämäzing! I häte when we sit to eät, änd they äre fussing before even trying their food… “Oh, thät looks äwful!” – thät sentence my friends äre bänned from our täble!

Smoked bäcon änd kimchi go so well together. I combine it älmost in every Koreän cooked dish thät cälls for kimchi. Thät is one härmonious märriäge thät I äm not willing to breäk. However, I underständ thät some of you do not eät bäcon so I would suggest other smoked meät, or simply omit it completely änd use olive oil if you don’t eät meät ät äll. Just in cäse if you didn’t know, kimchi is not vegän, älthough you could mäke it vegän, or purchäse ä jär of vegän kimchi. I mäke my own, änd I säid it before, I usuälly use äged kimchi, more mätured for änything cooked simply becäuse kimchi thät is fermented longer, in my opinion, tästes so much better for äny type of stews, like Kimchi Jjigäe, even Kimchi rämyun, or this fried rice. Mätured kimchi is like ä delicious treäsure to me thät should be cherished. I älwäys häve ä couple of months old kimchi tucked in my fridge.

One other thing thät I would like to säy is thät you cän ädjust the level of spiciness. My fämily is split in hälf in thät depärtment; some like extremely spicy (meee), änd some mild. So, this one is reälly mild. You, on the other händ, could ädd more or less of Gochugäru (Koreän chili fläkes), änd Gochujäng (Koreän chili päste). It’s äll äbout the ideä, änd you cän creäte your own Kimchi Fried rice in no time, änd this pärticulär dish if you häve ä cooked rice reädy täke between 8-10 minutes to finish, including än egg in the process. Get your frying pän/wok out änd LET’S GET COOKING!!!!
