Kimchi fried Rice
An ideal option to use up your old ripened kimchi. Inorder to give it more flavor and texture,meat or vegetables could be added along. However adding bacon would be an excellent choice.
Here, I would be using just Chicken instead.
Ingredients required:
• Kimchi 11/2 cup
• Steamed rice* 3 cups
• Boneless chicken 1 cup. Cut in to thumbnail size
• Eggs** 3 nos
• Garlic chopped 1tsp
• Onion 1 medium size diced
• Spring onion (Scallions) 2 stalks cut in to an inch length long
• Sesame oil 1 tbsp
• Cooking oil 1 tbsp
• Roasted Sesame seeds 1 tsp
• Salt to taste
- For best result, using refrigerated leftover rice would be apt, instead of freshly cooked rice. If you wanted to use fresh rice, spread the rice on a platter and allow to cool at room temperature.
** Fried eggs, preferably a sunnyside up would be an excellent option. However, it’s purely personal preference.
Preheat a wok on medium flame. Once it’s hot, pour in the oil and spread across the wok. Add chopped garlic and the onion and saute for about 2 minutes or till the aroma of garlic is dissipated and onion turns translucent.
It’s time to add your preferred meat and saute for about 5 minutes or half cooked.
Add now the kimchi and stir well. Should you require little water, you may drain 1/4 cup of kimchi juice from your kimchi pot and add in to chicken.
Add the rice and mix thoroughly. Bring down the flame to low and check for salt.
Add now the sesame oil and the green onion. Once again mix well and put off the flame
While serving, place the cooked egg on top of rice, sprinkle few roasted sesame seeds.
Happy Cooking!
