Elevate your everyday kimchi fried rice by adding nutty and savory perilla seeds, bringing an unforgettable taste of tradition to your meal. This recipe creates a simple yet special dining experience.
Main Ingredients- 2 bowls of warm cooked rice (freshly cooked rice is best!)
- 70g of well-fermented kimchi (finely chopped)
- 1/2 can of tuna (drained thoroughly)
- 1/2 medium onion (finely diced)
- 1/2 medium carrot (finely diced)
- 1/2 bag of enoki mushrooms (trim the root and separate strands)
- 1 Tbsp perilla oil (essential for its nutty aroma!)
- 2 tsp ground perilla seeds (don’t be shy!)
- A pinch of black sesame seeds (for garnish)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Heat a pan over medium heat. Add the drained tuna and 1 Tbsp of perilla oil. Sauté until fragrant, removing any fishy smell and enhancing the nutty flavor.
Step 2
Add the finely chopped kimchi to the pan and stir-fry it with the tuna and perilla oil. Stir continuously to prevent sticking and to ensure even cooking.
Step 3
Once the kimchi is well sautéed, add the diced carrots and onions. Cook until the vegetables become translucent, allowing their natural sweetness to meld with the kimchi.
Step 4
When the vegetables are tender, add the separated enoki mushrooms. Stir-fry quickly until they just wilt. Be careful not to overcook, as enoki mushrooms can release excess water.
Step 5
Now, add the 2 bowls of warm cooked rice to the pan. Use a spatula to break up the rice and mix it thoroughly with all the ingredients, ensuring every grain is coated with flavor.
Step 6
Transfer the well-fried kimchi fried rice to a serving bowl. Generously sprinkle 2 tsp of ground perilla seeds over the top for an extra layer of nutty richness.
Step 7
Finally, garnish with a pinch of black sesame seeds for a visually appealing finish. Your delicious Perilla Seed Kimchi Fried Rice is ready to be enjoyed!
