what's for dinner tonight: kimchi fried rice (kimchi bokkeumbap)

With my remaining jar of kimchi, stored in the back of the fridge for weeks, and some old steamed rice, I was determined to try a Korean classic.


Ingredients:
2 cups of white rice, cooked
1 cup of kimchi, chopped
1/2 a small onion, chopped
1/4 cup of corn
1/4 cup of peas
4 tbsp. of olive oil
1 tbsp. of sesame oil
3 tbsp. of soy sauce
Salt to taste
Fried egg, to add to the top of the rice
Chopped green onion, for garnish


Take out about 1 cup of kimchi from the jar.


Chop the kimchi, and reserve the juices..


Chop up the onion and green onion.


In a wok, heat the olive oil on high, and add the onion. Stir fry until it starts to yellow, about 1 minute.


Add the kimchi and stir fry for about 1 minute.


Add the rice, peas, corn, and green onion. Mix well. Add in the sesame oil and season with soy sauce and salt if needed.


Serve with a fried egg on top. A giant squirt of Sriracha sauce will really make the dish.

Enjoy! Nom, nom, nom...
