Easy Kimchi Fried Rice Recipe: A Simple Korean-Inspired Meal

This was my dinner the other night Kimchi Fried Rice. 🍚🌶️

It's been quite a while since I last made kimchi fried rice, so after preparing Pookie Bear's meal, I decided to make some for myself.

I also had some leftover sautéed squash with soy sauce from the previous day. There wasn't much left, so I thought I'd better finish it before it spoiled. Sometimes the simplest meals are the ones that work best when you're just cooking for yourself.

I didn't have anything fancy in the kitchen, but I had the basic ingredients I needed for a quick and tasty kimchi fried rice recipe.

Ingredients

• Cooked or steamed rice
• Kimchi
• Garlic, minced
• Onion, chopped
• Eggs
• Cooking oil
• Salt, to taste

How to Make Kimchi Fried Rice

1. Sauté the garlic and onion.
   Heat a little oil in a pan, then sauté the garlic and onion until fragrant.
2. Add the kimchi.
   Add the kimchi and mix it with the garlic and onion. Cook for a few minutes so the flavors come together.
3. Add the cooked rice.
   Put the steamed rice into the pan and mix everything together. Break up any large clumps of rice as you stir.
4. Add the eggs.
   Add the eggs and continue stirring, just like you would when making regular fried rice. Cook until the eggs are done.
5. Season with salt.
   Taste and add a little salt if needed. Since kimchi can already be salty, I recommend adding the salt gradually.
6. Serve hot.
   That's it! A simple, filling kimchi fried rice is ready to enjoy.

My Simple Homemade Kimchi Fried Rice

This isn't a complicated recipe at all, but that's exactly what I like about it. It's quick, inexpensive, and a great way to use leftover rice and kimchi.

I especially like making fried rice when I have some leftover ingredients in the refrigerator. Instead of letting them go to waste, I can turn them into another meal.

And of course, kimchi makes almost everything better. 😋
