Notes

  • It's best to use cooked leftover rice. If it is refrigerated, take the rice out of the fridge for 30 minutes before cooking. Or, you can cover with a wet paper towel and microwave for a minute to soften the rice.

  • Since I use homemade kimchi, the taste may be slightly different. Therefore, add Korean chili paste to your taste.
  • I love to use shallot to stir fried rice because it gives a great aroma to the rice. However, you can use onion if you want to substitute. 
  • Roast nori sheets and sesame seeds are optional, you don’t have to add them.
