How To Make Kimchi Fried Rice (In 15 Minutes)
Description
The recipe begins by sautéing onions and garlic in oil or butter until soft and aromatic. Kimchi and assorted vegetables then join the pan, cooking briefly until tender. Adding pre-cooked rice and kimchi juice allows the flavors to thoroughly merge while warming the rice through.
Creating a well in the rice to scramble eggs directly in the wok ensures the eggs cook quickly and integrate evenly into the dish. Soy sauce and toasted sesame oil provide umami depth and a subtle nutty finish.
This method results in a slightly tangy, savory fried rice with contrasting textures from crunchy kimchi and vegetables alongside soft eggs. It works well as a quick main course or accompaniment in Korean-inspired meals.
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp oil 30 mL, or butter
- ½ cup onion about ½ onion, white, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup kimchi 200 g
- 1 cup Veggies such as frozen peas, carrots, and/or corn
- 3 cups rice cooled, 200 g, cooked
- 2 Tbsp kimchi juice 30 mL
- 2 egg
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce 30 mL
- ½ tsp sesame oil 2 mL, toasted
Instructions
- Flavor: In a large wok, heat oil or butter over medium/high. Add onion and garlic, cooking until soft and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add kimchi and veggies, cooking until veggies are tender.
- Rice: Add rice and kimchi juice, stirring to coat evenly. Continue cooking until rice is warm.
- Egg: Make a hole in the middle of the rice so you can see the bottom of the pan. Crack eggs into the hole and cook until scrambled, then stir to evenly combine with the rice.
- Serve: Stir in soy sauce and sesame oil. Serve warm.
