Main Ingredients- Rice 80g (approx. 1/2 cup)
- Water 150ml
- Well-fermented Kimchi 100g
- Onion 40g
- Spam (or Luncheon Meat) 80g
Seasoning & Liquids- Soy Sauce 1 Tbsp
- Sugar 1 Tbsp
- Sesame Oil 1 Tbsp
- Kimchi Juice 100ml
- Soy Sauce 1 Tbsp
- Sugar 1 Tbsp
- Sesame Oil 1 Tbsp
- Kimchi Juice 100ml
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the rice for cooking. For a single serving, 80g of rice fills about half of a standard rice cup. Wash the rice thoroughly.
Step 2
Add the washed rice to the rice cooker. Pour in 150ml of water and 100ml of kimchi juice. For added flavor, add 1 Tbsp of soy sauce and 1 Tbsp of sesame oil. (Tip: Substitute 1 Tbsp of fish sauce for soy sauce for an even richer umami taste.)
Step 3
When you add the water, it should reach about twice the height of the rice. (Adjust the water amount slightly depending on your rice cooker model.)
Step 4
Select the ‘Quick Cook’ or ‘Quick White Rice’ setting on your rice cooker and start cooking. While the rice is cooking, finely dice the 100g of kimchi, 40g of onion, and 80g of Spam into bite-sized pieces. Avoid dicing them too small, as this can reduce the texture when chewing.
Step 5
Once the rice is cooked, place the pre-diced onion, kimchi, and Spam on top of the rice in the cooker. Sprinkle 1 Tbsp of sugar evenly over the ingredients. Gently mix the rice with the ingredients using a spatula. Then, select the ‘Reheat’ function while on ‘Keep Warm’ for 9 minutes. This second cooking step allows the flavors to meld beautifully into the rice.
Step 6
After reheating, open the lid and give everything a final mix. Serve the fried rice in a bowl and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds for an extra nutty flavor. Enjoy your simple yet delicious Spam Kimchi Fried Rice!
