  • 1 chicken breast thinly sliced
  • 2 cups kimchi chopped and kimchi juice saved
  • 1 tablespoon Gochujang
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

Instructions

Cooking Rice

  • Day old or leftover rice is best when cooking fried rice.
  • Place 3 cups of washed rice and 4½ cups of water in saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat (without lid).
  • Cover with lid, turn heat down to low, and cook for 20 minutes. Fluff with a fork and allow to cool before use. While rice is cooking, prep and start the cooking process.

Kimchi Fried Rice

  • Heat oil in a wok over high heat. Saute onions until they start to sweat. Add the thinly sliced chicken pieces and fry until cooked.
  • Squeeze out the kimchi and save the liquids to add with the rice. Toss the kimchi into the wok mixture and fry for a few minutes. Mix in the Gochujang paste.
  • Add the rice, kimchi juice, soy sauce and sesame oil. Stir until it’s evenly mixed.
  • Serve with fried egg and garnish with green onions.
