Introducing a simple and quick recipe for delicious crab stick kimchi fried rice using ingredients you likely have at home. It’s a perfect, satisfying meal for both kids and adults!
Essential Ingredients- 2 servings of warm cooked rice (approx. 2 bowls)
- 150g imitation crab meat (surimi)
- 200g well-fermented kimchi
- 3 stalks of green onion
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, carefully check and prepare all the ingredients needed for the recipe. Finely chop the kimchi into bite-sized pieces (about 1cm) to ensure it blends well into the fried rice.
Step 2
Slice the green onions thinly. Shred or cut the imitation crab meat into manageable pieces. Shredding the crab stick will help it absorb the flavors better and make it more delicious.
Step 3
Now, let’s start stir-frying! Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat and add about 4 tablespoons of cooking oil. Once the oil is warm, it’s time to begin making your delicious fried rice.
Step 4
Add the sliced green onions to the pan and stir-fry over high heat for about 1 minute until fragrant. Frying the green onions first will significantly enhance the overall flavor of the fried rice.
Step 5
Once the aroma of the green onions is well released, add the chopped kimchi and stir-fry together. Lightly stir-frying the kimchi will mellow out its tartness and bring out its savory depth.
Step 6
When the kimchi is partially cooked, add the prepared imitation crab meat. Continue to stir-fry over high heat for about 2 more minutes, ensuring all ingredients are well combined.
Step 7
It’s time to add the seasonings. Sprinkle in 1.5 tablespoons of gochugaru and stir well to distribute it evenly among the ingredients. Be careful not to burn the chili powder while stir-frying.
Step 8
Push the stir-fried ingredients to one side of the pan to create an empty space. Pour 2 tablespoons of soy sauce into the empty space. Wait until you see brown bubbles forming before mixing it in with the other ingredients. This step caramelizes the soy sauce, deepening its flavor.
Step 9
Now, add the 2 servings of warm cooked rice to the pan. If your rice is clumped, break it apart before adding it to make stir-frying easier.
Step 10
Using a spatula or spoon, firmly press and stir-fry the rice, ensuring every grain is coated with the sauce. The goal is to achieve fluffy rice grains without any clumps. This thorough mixing is key!
Step 11
Finally, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds over the top for a nutty aroma. Your delicious crab stick kimchi fried rice is now ready! Serve immediately while hot for the best taste.
