Kimchi Fried Rice (Kimchi Bokkeumbap)

You know sometimes, you are just so busy and tired but still crave for home-cooked food? This kimchi fried rice (Kimchi Bokkeumbap) is one of the dishes I love to whip up on days like that, because it can easily be prepared in 30 minutes or less.

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.
Yummy! I also loved kimchi fried rice, either this for my quick lunch or Korean ramen. The latter seem to be less healthy though. :D
Next time I know where to go when in need of Korean food in Sg. Gate-crash your home!!! LOL …look very authentic and definitely healthier than outside Korean food. Maybe I will start making more, for banchan side dishes so that I can keep as leftovers and have them when I am just too tired (and lazy) to make any food on other days.
Wiffy, your kimchi fried rice looks delicious, just recently I learned about adding kimchi to fried rice and I love it. I love the fried egg on it…yum!
Hope you are enjoying your week :D
Just had my dinner, but I am hungry again! This looks so very appetizing!
I love this too! So tasty, especially when you break the egg yolk and mix it with the rice!
ooooh this is a fabulous combination!
