Main Ingredients
- 1 serving of well-fermented kimchi (chopped)
- 1 slice of cheddar cheese
- 3 Tbsp kimchi juice
- 1 serving of cooked rice
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, finely chop the well-fermented kimchi into bite-sized pieces. Place the chopped kimchi in a pan, and add 3 tablespoons of kimchi juice to enhance its savory flavor and moisture.
Step 2
Add a dash of pepper for extra aroma, then drizzle a moderate amount of cooking oil into the pan. Stir-fry over medium heat until the kimchi softens. It’s important to stir-fry sufficiently to mellow the kimchi’s acidity and bring out its sweetness.
Step 3
Once the kimchi is nicely stir-fried, add 1 serving of warm cooked rice to the pan. Then, add oyster sauce to your liking to further boost the umami. Adding oyster sauce balances the seasoning and deepens the flavor.
Step 4
Using a spatula or spoon, quickly mix and stir-fry the rice, kimchi, and oyster sauce until well combined. Ensure the kimchi seasoning is evenly distributed among every grain of rice. The key is to break up any clumps of rice.
Step 5
Transfer the delicious kimchi fried rice to a serving plate. Top it with a slice of cheddar cheese and microwave for about 30 seconds to 1 minute. The cheese will melt beautifully, creating a fantastic cheese kimchi fried rice! Enjoy it while it’s warm.
