Ingredients- 1 bowl of warm rice

- 1/3 stalk green onion (finely chopped)
- 1/3 onion (finely chopped)
- 1 egg
- 1 Tbsp butter
- A little seasoned seaweed (crumbled)
- 1 Tbsp canned corn
- 1 Tbsp ketchup
- 1 Tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 1 Tbsp red pepper powder (gochugaru)
- 1 Tbsp perilla oil
- 1 Tbsp sesame seeds
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- Spam or ham, to taste (cut into bite-sized pieces)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare all the ingredients that will bring out the best flavor in your kimchi fried rice. It’s especially important to use ripe, not overly sour, kimchi for the best taste. Finely chop the kimchi into manageable pieces.
Step 2
Heat a pan over medium-low heat. Add 1 Tbsp of butter and 1 Tbsp of minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic. Then, add 1 Tbsp of canned corn and stir-fry together. This creates a delicious base where the butter and corn flavors meld beautifully.
Step 3
Now, add the cut Spam (or ham) to the pan and cook until golden brown. Once the Spam is cooked, add the finely chopped kimchi. To enhance the flavor, drizzle in 1 Tbsp of perilla oil. Stir-fry until the kimchi softens and its color deepens.
Step 4
Once the kimchi is sautéed, add the chopped onion and green onion to the pan. Cook until the vegetables become translucent and softened, adding a lovely aroma.
Step 5
It’s time to add the seasonings that will perfect the flavor of your fried rice. Slightly reduce the heat. Stir in 1 Tbsp of oyster sauce, 1 Tbsp of sugar, and 1 Tbsp of red pepper powder. Mix well with all the ingredients and cook for about 1 minute, stirring continuously, to deepen the flavors without burning.
Step 6
Now, add one bowl of warm rice to the pan. Use your spatula to break up the rice and mix everything thoroughly, ensuring the seasoning coats every grain. Keep stir-frying until the rice is well combined with the ingredients.
Step 7
Once the rice is well fried, squeeze 1 Tbsp of ketchup onto one side of the pan and briefly cook it. Then, make a space on the other side and crack the egg into it, scrambling it until cooked. Alternatively, you can cook a fried egg separately and place it on top of the rice.
Step 8
Gently mix the scrambled egg with the rice. Finally, sprinkle crumbled seasoned seaweed and 1 Tbsp of sesame seeds over the top. Your delicious and visually appealing kimchi fried rice is now complete! Enjoy your meal!
