Kimchi Fried Rice (Bokkumbap)

Course Main Dish
Cuisine Asian, Korean
Servings 2 people

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbs. vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup protein of your choosing
  • 2-3 cups kimchi very coarsely chopped
  • sesame oil to taste
  • 4 cups cooked rice
  • 1/4 cup kimchi juice
  • 1/2 cup green onion to garnish
  • 1 small package roasted seasoned laver to garnish
  • salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • Add a small amount of vegetable oil to pan and scramble eggs to set but soft consistency.
  • Remove eggs from pan and set aside. Add more vegetable oil if needed and cook protein thoroughly.
  • Add chopped kimchi and bring heat to medium/high. Lightly coat with sesame oil. Let kimchi become cooked through, stirring frequently.
  • Add cooked rice to pan, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. If desired, coat again with sesame oil and add kimchi juice (add too much oil and you will end up with a greasy mess—not necessarily a bad thing).
  • Cook all ingredients to desired doneness (cooking out any added liquid).
  • Fold in scrambled egg and let work another minute or so.
  • Plate and garnish with green onion and crumbled seaweed.

Notes

Substitute scrambled egg with over-easy or sunny-side up egg, prepared in a separate pan and placed over bed of rice.
