Main Ingredients- 2/3 bowl of cooked rice (warm)
- 1/8 head of well-fermented kimchi (finely chopped)
- 1 can of tuna (drained of oil)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the vegetables that will add color to your fried rice. Finely mince the mini carrot and mini bell pepper. Chop the asparagus into thin pieces; this makes it easier for children to eat.
Step 2
Heat a pan over medium heat with a little cooking oil. First, add the minced carrot, bell pepper, and chopped asparagus. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender and their sweetness is released. Then, add the kimchi and the drained tuna, and stir-fry together for about 3-4 minutes until the kimchi becomes slightly translucent. If the kimchi is too sour, you can add a tiny pinch of sugar.
Step 3
Add the warm cooked rice to the stir-fried ingredients. Using a spatula, gently break up the rice grains and mix them thoroughly with the other ingredients. Stir-fry until the rice grains are coated. Reduce the heat to low, then add sesame oil and toasted sesame seeds for a nutty aroma, and mix gently. Finally, season with salt to taste. The fried rice will be even more delicious if the rice grains are fluffy.
Step 4
Now it’s time to make the egg garnish. Heat a pan over low heat with a little cooking oil. Pour in 2 beaten eggs and cook to create a thin, soft egg crepe. Cook until lightly golden brown on both sides.
Step 5
Transfer the warm fried rice into a lunchbox or serving dish, arranging it nicely. Cut the freshly made egg crepe into bite-sized pieces and place them attractively on top of the fried rice.
Step 6
Finally, sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds to complete your appetizing kimchi fried rice lunchbox. The nutty flavor of the sesame seeds will make it even more delicious.
Step 7
For the accompanying fruit, cut your child’s favorites like cherry tomatoes, apple, and avocado into bite-sized pieces. This combination of vegetables and fruit makes for a visually appealing and healthy lunchbox.
Step 8
You’ve prepared a thoughtful kimchi fried rice lunchbox to share with a friend! It’s heartwarming to hear that the child enjoyed it so much, reflecting the pride of a ‘hedgehog mom.’ A wonderful lunchbox for the children’s health and enjoyment has been completed.
