Essential Ingredients- 1 serving warm rice (approx. 200g)
- 130g well-fermented napa cabbage kimchi
- 1 can (150g) tuna, drained
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare 130g of well-fermented napa cabbage kimchi, which is the star of this fried rice. Chop the kimchi into small, bite-sized pieces. Finely chopped kimchi blends better with the rice.
Step 2
Next, get ready with one can (150g) of tuna, which adds a delicious richness. Don’t discard the oil from the tuna can; it’s packed with flavor and should be added to the dish. Have the whole can ready.
Step 3
Heat a pan over medium heat and add the finely chopped kimchi. Sauté the kimchi until its tangy aroma mellows and a subtle sweetness emerges. This step is key to deepening the flavor.
Step 4
Once the kimchi is nicely sautéed, add the entire can of tuna, including the oil. The rich tuna oil will beautifully meld with the kimchi, creating an even more delicious foundation.
Step 5
Now, add one serving of warm rice to the pan. Use a spatula to break up any clumps of rice and gently mix everything together until well combined.
Step 6
Turn the heat up to high and stir-fry vigorously for about 2 minutes. This high-heat cooking will make the rice grains distinct and slightly crispy, while imparting a wonderful smoky aroma.
Step 7
Transfer the perfectly cooked kimchi fried rice to a serving bowl. Arrange it nicely to make it look appetizing.
Step 8
After plating the fried rice, use the same pan to fry an egg. I prefer my eggs sunny-side up, with a runny yolk that adds a creamy richness when mixed into the rice.
Step 9
Carefully place the freshly fried egg on top of the kimchi fried rice. Try not to break the yolk as you place it.
Step 10
Arrange a small handful of fresh, washed baby greens around the egg or on the side of the fried rice for a touch of color and freshness.
Step 11
Finally, sprinkle a pinch of parsley flakes for a hint of herbaceousness, and a generous amount of toasted sesame seeds for a nutty finish. And behold…?
Step 12
Your mouth-watering, spicy and savory Tuna Kimchi Fried Rice is complete! Enjoy your delicious meal!
