Kimchi Fried Rice

January 17, 2016 12 Comments

Jump to Recipe Print 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.

    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.

    How is this different from Korean kimchi fried rice? I’ve never tried Chinese kimchi fried rice.
