Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: If you haven't done so already, cook the rice and let it cool. Day-old rice works best for fried rice. Chop the kimchi and prepare the mixed vegetables.
- Sauté Aromatics : In a large pan or wok, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and onion, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Cook Protein: Add the diced protein (chicken, pork, ground beef, tofu, bacon, or ham, anything really) to the pan and cook until browned and fully cooked.
- Add Kimchi: Stir in the chopped kimchi and cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Fry Rice: Add the cooked rice to the pan, breaking up any clumps. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the rice is well-coated and slightly crispy.
- Flavor with Sauce: Pour soy sauce, gochujang, sweet soy sauce, sesame oil over the rice. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the flavors.
- Final Touch: Add chopped green onions and sesame seeds for garnish, stirring to combine.
- Optional Topping: Top with a fried egg for each serving if desired.
- Serve hot and enjoy your homemade Kimchi Fried Rice!
