The result looks like I have slaved much longer in the kitchen for it.

I served the fried rice with three banchan (side dishes) – Korean bean sprout salad, Korean sesame broccoli salad and cut kimchi (ready made) and we have a rather sumptuous fare on the table.

This is why I almost always have a jar of kimchi in the fridge, it’s so useful to be eaten as its own or to cook many dishes.

Sauce for cooking the fried rice – my bottle of kimchi is just finished so I just the bottle to mix the sauce so that not a drop of the kimchi juice goes to waste.

The kimchi is cut to these bite-sized pieces before cooking.
