Kimchi Fried Rice (Kimchi Bokkeum Bbap) | 김치볶음밥⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ My Mom makes the best Kimchi Fried Rice. Her best kimchi + just the right seasonings... has us making this 1-2x a week! A lot of Koreans eat this because it's an eaaaaasy leftover food to make. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ A MUST when making this:⁣⁣ - VERY VERY fermented kimchi⁣⁣ - COLD, leftover white rice! ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Also, all kimchi taste different. My Mom's kimchi is not super salty or spicy, so that's why we add in more fish sauce and Korean red pepper flakes.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Use this recipe as a guide, and adjust accordingly to the taste of YOUR kimchi! ⁣ ⁣⁣ INGREDIENTS & Instructions:⁣⁣ Over medium heat, cook 5 oz. PORK BELLY in a large skillet/wok. When no longer pink, snip pork belly into very small pieces with scissors. Let it brown and form a texture, but do NOT cover cook. Keep pork belly oils/fat, set aside the meat.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ In the same skillet with the pork belly oils/fats, increase heat to medium high & add in:⁣⁣ 1 & 1/2 cup KIMCHI (chopped, 230g)⁣⁣ 1 & 1/4 tsp KOREAN RED PEPPER FLAKES⁣ 1 tsp DASIDA* ⁣ Mix. ⁣ ⁣ Clear out a small circle in the center of the skillet, and add in 1 Tbsp GARLIC (minced). Mix. Reduce heat to medium. ⁣ ⁣ Add in more OIL if too dry. Mix around until the kimchi juice evaporates a bit. Do not cook for long though. You don't want to dry out the kimchi!⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Add in chopped pork. Mix. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ In the meantime, in a separate skillet, heat up some oil over medium heat and scramble 1 EGG quickly. Remove from heat once just about to be full cooked and set aside. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Back to main kimchi skillet: Increase heat to medium high. Add in 2 cups WHITE RICE (cold, leftover). Break down the rice and mix to evenly distribute. Once fully mixed in, add in:⁣⁣ 1 tsp THREE CRABS FISH SAUCE ⁣ 1/4 tsp DASIDA* ⁣⁣ 1 tsp SUGAR⁣ 1 tsp PLUM EXTRACT*⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Reduce heat to medium low to medium. Add in scrambled eggs, GREEN ONIONS (3, chopped). Gently mix by folding. Add in  1 cup ROASTED SEAWEED (about 12, snipped into 1 in. strips) & 1 Tbsp SESAME OIL. Gently mix by folding. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Serve immediately with some seaweed strips on the side.⁣ ⁣⁣ Enjoy!⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Linked in bio | ahnesty.com
