Ingredients- 2 bowls of cooked rice
- 200g napa cabbage kimchi, well-fermented
- 1/2 onion
- 1/2 carrot
- 3 slices of bacon
- 1 Tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
- 1 Tbsp butter
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of black pepper
- Pinch of shredded seaweed (gim)
- Pinch of toasted sesame seeds
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Melt 1 Tbsp of butter in a heated pan over medium-low heat until fragrant. This will add a rich flavor base.
Step 2
Squeeze out excess liquid from the kimchi, then chop it finely. Add the chopped kimchi to the pan and stir-fry over medium heat until it softens and becomes fragrant. Cooking the kimchi well is key to developing its flavor.
Step 3
Once the kimchi is softened, add the finely diced onion and carrot. Continue to stir-fry until the vegetables are tender and slightly translucent, allowing their natural sweetness to release.
Step 4
When the vegetables are halfway cooked, add the bacon slices, cut into bite-sized pieces. Stir-fry until the bacon is crispy and has rendered its fat, which will further enhance the flavors.
Step 5
Once the bacon is cooked, season the mixture with 1 Tbsp of oyster sauce for savory depth, a pinch of black pepper, and salt to taste. Stir everything together to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
Step 6
After all ingredients are well-stirred and cooked, turn off the heat. Drizzle in 1 Tbsp of sesame oil for a glossy finish and nutty aroma. Adding sesame oil at the end preserves its delicate fragrance.
Step 7
Serve the kimchi fried rice generously onto plates. Garnish with shredded seaweed (gim) and toasted sesame seeds for a beautiful presentation and added texture.
