Kimchi Fried Rice

Spicy, Korean-style fried rice, cooked with kimchi, bacon and butter… this dish is all the things! The fried egg is the most epic of toppings too – ditch it at your peril. My top tip? Day-old rice will give you the dryness you need for perfect, separated grains.

Ingredients

150g (5 oz) kimchi

1 tbsp butter

150g (5 oz) bacon, diced

1 tbsp gochujang*

2 cups cooked rice

Steps
  • Step 1

    Drain the kimchi in a colander. Reserve the kimchi liquid for later. Heat a wok or frying pan over high heat. Add the kimchi and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes or until the kimchi starts to char at the edges. Transfer to a plate and reserve for later.

  • Step 2

    Heat the butter in a wok over high heat. Add the bacon and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add the onion and garlic and cook for 2 minutes or until the onion has softened. Add the gochujang paste and cook for 30 seconds. Then add the rice, reserved roasted kimchi, soy sauce and reserved kimchi liquid. Stir-fry until well combined. Remove from the heat and toss through the spring onion.

  • Step 3

    Serve the fried rice topped with an egg, spring onion and the crispy seaweed.

  • Notes
    Notes:

    – Gochujang is a Korean fermented chilli paste available in the Asian section of supermarkets or from an Asian grocer.
