Kimchi Fried Rice

Kimchi Fried Rice…these 3 words has been on my mind for quite some time. I was extremely eager to make this dish, and Chris was impatient to eat, few reasons: 1. we love rice; but we try not to eat rice much (now you know why we were “extremely eager”). 2.  we love spicy; we try to make everything with hot sauce possible. 

I do have to admit, Korean style fried rice is much tastier because Kimchi brings so much more flavor to rice. This is definitely a comfortable food dish I will make over and over.

I’m surprised I just discovered this dish, Kimchi Fried Rice…where have you been all my life!!!

Ingredients:

*about 3-4 servings

3 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, chopped

2 stalks green onion, chopped

5 cups overnight rice

2 tablespoon kimchi juice

1 teaspoon sesame oil
