Kimchi Fried Rice
Kimchi Fried Rice combines day-old cooked rice with chopped kimchi, soy sauce, and avocado oil, stir-fried to coat the grains and infuse them with tangy, spicy kimchi flavor. Fried eggs, sesame oil, green onions, sesame seeds, and nori strips garnish the dish, adding richness, nuttiness, and texture. The dish balances savory, spicy, and slightly fermented flavors in a satisfying rice-based meal.
