Kimchi Fried Rice キムチの焼き飯

Kimchi Fried Rice combines cooked rice coated with Japanese mayonnaise, thinly sliced pork, chopped kimchi with its juice, and garlic chives, all stir-fried in sesame oil. The inclusion of beaten egg cooked directly in the pan adds softness and binds the ingredients, resulting in a flavorful dish with distinct tang from kimchi and richness from pork and sesame oil. Roasted sesame seeds and soy sauce finish the dish with a nutty aroma and umami depth, making it a balanced meal component or hearty side.

Notes

  • Use matured kimchi and include its juice for enhanced flavor in the dish.
  • Japanese mayonnaise helps separate rice grains; if unavailable, substitute with a similar egg yolk–based mayo.
  • If thin sliced pork is not available, bacon or thin pork slices cut from half frozen meat are suitable substitutes.
  • Garlic chives can be replaced with scallions and minced garlic, adding the garlic early for aroma.
  • To serve, you can either mix the beaten egg into the fried rice or top with a separately fried egg according to preference.
