    Kimchi Fried Rice

    Last Modified: October 10, 2018 by Elaine| 12 Comments

    Jump to Recipe

    Kimchi fried rice is one of my favorite fried rices breakfast in every winter when my homemade kimchi is fermented for around 2 weeks. The kimchi juice makes the fried rice so easy and yummy. As I mentioned before that I make kimchi every winter. My personal kimchi routine is served as cold side dish after 7 day fermentation and then use in kimchi fried rice or simple kimchi stew after 2 weeks.

    This is Elaine's daily easy kimchi fried rice recipe as I do not add bacon, pork belly or other meat, but add light soy sauce. I use vegetable oil for daily kimchi fried rice. But I am totally satisfied with the result. My secret weapon is the longer fermented homemade kimchi (shown in following picture). After around 2 weeks fermentation, the kimchi becomes quite sour and there will be a large amount of red juice in the bottom. It provides an excellent fermentation sour taste and a bright red color.

      Please mention this food is from Korea. Because of the site name it looks like it is chinese food.

        Hi Sunny,

        I am not saying this kimchi is from Sichuan. I name the blog as China Sichuan Food as because I focus more on real Sichuan food.

      I live in Florida and I have to buy my kimchi in a jar. I think they Americanized it, as it doesn't have a lot of juice (from your comment above I'm thinking this is due to the short fermentation process). The last recipe I tried called for sesame oil and it totally overwhelmed the whole dish. I like the simplicity of this recipe.

        Deanna,
        I ever add any oil for my kimchi. My common recipe uses the simplest ingredient but tastes great too.

        As the kimchi ages it will give off liquid.
