⏱ Cook time 15 min March 5, 2026 Kimchi Fried Rice
A super-quick one-bowl meal made from aged kimchi in the fridge
Instructions
- Heat oil in a pan and stir-fry the scallion and spam (or bacon) to build flavor.
- Add the finely chopped kimchi and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes.
- Add the gochujang, stir briefly, then add the rice and mix evenly while frying.
- Turn off the heat and drizzle with sesame oil to finish.
- Top with a fried egg and seaweed flakes.
Tips
- Well-fermented, sour kimchi gives it a deeper flavor.
- Slightly chilled leftover rice fries better than fresh rice.
