Kimchi Fried Rice

Kimchi Fried Rice
Serves 1
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons oil
1 large egg
1 clove garlic, finely minced
1/4 small onion, finely diced
1/2 cup kimchi, cut into small pieces + 1 tablespoon kimchi juice
2 cups overnight steamed white rice
1 tablespoon soy sauce or to taste
1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
3 dashes black pepper
1 stalk scallion, cut into small rounds
Method:
Heat up a wok with 1/4 tablespoon oil and cook the egg sunny side up. Dish out and set aside.
Add the remaining oil into the wok. Sauté the garlic and onion until aromatic. Add the kimchi and do a few quick stirs before adding the rice. Stir to combine well. Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, black pepper, and scallion. Stir a few times to blend with the rice. Dish out and serve immediately with the egg on top of the rice.
Cook’s Note:
I like my Kimchi Fried Rice spicy with lots of kimchi. Cut down on the kimchi if you like a milder taste.

Wowzers Bee that looks good – really looking forward to giving that a go (and store cupboard / fridge contents ingredients – bonus!) :)
Hi Cat, yes, it was good, my lunch today. Loooove kimchi fried rice. :)
That’s a super drool-worthy photo! I could really eat some of that right now!
I really love kimchi fried rice and everything with kimchi, but hubby doesn’t seem to like it. That is the problem. Sigh…
Mmmm, mouth watering. I love kimchee!
YUM! My favourite fried rice, now I want some!
I actually bought a small jar of kimchi recently because I saw a recipe kind of like yours, but I can’t for the life find it, so when I saw you post this, I made sure to bookmark it. Tonight: steamed rice, tomorrow: kimchi fried. Thank you :d
Sounds like a good recipe, thanks. Will try it.
Overnight steamed rice – the meaning sounds obvious – rice that has been steamed overnight – but how exactly is it made? Not familiar with the term, and I am not a regular cook :-) Is it done using some sort of rice cooker with controls to make sure the rice does not get overcooked, etc.? Also, why is it specifically mentioned in the recipe, rather than just regular steamed rice? Is the taste different, and/or more suited to this recipe in some way?
Overnight steamed rice means leftover rice. Rice that was made one day earlier, and the next day you use it to make this kimchi fried rice. :)
You can use regular and freshly made steamed rice but it will be too moist and sticky and the texture is not great for this Kimchi fried rice.
Hi,
To go with this kimchi fried recipe, do you have a recipe for kimchi on your site?
Thanks.
I don’t, but my good friend Steamy Kitchen has just posted an article about how to make kimchi: http://steamykitchen.com/16043-how-to-make-kimchi-recipe.html
I can’t eat too spicy so regular Kimchi is not my favorite dish (I like white kimchi though). But fried rice with Kimchi…YUM..looks delicious! Beautiful photos as always Bee!
Love this!!! Great hangover food as well with the egg ;) I have what remains of a big vat of kimchi in the fridge and I must get another batch of this going.
I love kimchi and kimchi fried rice. Yours look delicious and very appetizing!
Just made this tonight and it tastes great! I think I’ll put some more veggies next time like traditional fried rice (carrots, peas, etc). Thanks for the recipe!!
I was introduced to this site by a friend who’s a fan of your site. My, I like your recipes very much.
The only & first time I had Kimchi Fried Rice was about 2 years ago at an authentic Korean stall in Malaysia! I remembered it was spicy but oh, so very delicious. It was a big plate that I had to share it with my husband.
Your recipe is easy to follow and I shall make it for Sat dinner this weekend. :)
Thanks for your comment. I am glad that you found my site. Let me know how your kimchi fried rice turns out.
Hello.I also like to make kimchi fried rice with my mother in law handmade kimchi^^ Welcome to my blog if u love to know other korean foods.
Hi Apple,
Yes, it’s safe to buy Mizkan products. Don’t worry. Thanks for your sweet note. :)
hi!, A while back I was searching for some foodies that would arouse my tastebuds and found this! I really love KIMCHI.. And I will surely try doing this at home even if my hubby doesn’t like KIMCHI. Can I add sirloin beef here or ground beef? or chicken as add-ons? Does it affect the taste? Lols… Iam so into cooking delicious foods… hehehehe.
Macai26 – yes, you can add beef, chicken and other add-ons. No, it doesn’t affect the taste. Good luck making kimchi fried rice.
I love your website! I have been following it for about 4 years now, but stopped cooking for some reason about a year ago, and only recently started looking through recipes again….and as I was looking for something delicious to try out, I remembered Rasa Malaysia! I am so glad I stopped by today, I am going to try out this kimchi recipe with some of my students (most of my ESL students are Korean), so this would be fun AND delicious!!
Thank you for having such an AMAZING blog!!

Hi Courtney – awww, thanks for your nice comment and warm support. Let me know how your kimchi fried rice turned out. :)
I am definitely trying out this authentic recipe. Being an Indian, I am used to eating spicy dishes. When we shifted to Hong Kong last November, we explored a lot of Asian dishes here, also the kimchi! I loved the way you added this to fried rice!
Another kimchi recipes for muslim? some ingredients we cannot eat
Thanks for helping to introduce Americans to bibim bap. What a great meal! Breakfast, lunch or dinner. I skip the black pepper, but add a good squirt of siriacha for a hangover morning. I like to add fish sauce too. Put in slices of whatever leftover meat is around for dinner, or late night snacks.
Made this last night. It was DEEEEEElicious! I think the kim chi quality matters. Thank you for the recipe!
I discovered your website while browsing shesimmers.com. I’ve already made garlic noodles and kimchi fried rice (30 mins ago). I got the thumbs up from my wife the Thai foodie. Thank you. I’ve already flagged about a dozen other recipes I want to try.
A big fan in San Francisco.
Thanks Curtis! So glad to have you as a reader. :)
Hi Bee,
I’ve bookmarked several recipes I want to try from you. I love kimchi fried rice and anything kimchi. Do you have any recommendations for store bought Kimchi? I live in the Bay Area and never know what’s a good brand to buy at Asian markets or Korean markets.
I don’t have a particular brand, I think they are all about the same. :)
wow i feel silly, three days ago i was looking for an awesome fried rice recipe and ended up making something not worthy of even name Rice.
I do so love kimchi. I wish I could make that!
can i make kimchi fried without rice ?
we must put sesame oil on it ? if not ?
