Simple and Satisfying Galbi Fried Rice for a Quick Meal

Ingredients- 1/2 stalk scallion
- A little bit of carrot (about 30g)
- 2-3 leaves of well-fermented kimchi
- Leftover beef short ribs (meat removed from bone), as needed
- 1.5 bowls of warm cooked rice
- 1 packet seasoned seaweed (gim)
- A drizzle of sesame oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, finely chop the scallion. Heat a little cooking oil in a pan over medium-low heat and stir-fry the chopped scallions. It’s important to cook them slowly until they release their sweet aroma and create fragrant scallion oil. This step significantly deepens the flavor of the fried rice.
Step 2
Finely mince the carrot, and chop the kimchi into small pieces. Remove the meat from any leftover beef short ribs and dice it into bite-sized pieces. Add the prepared carrot, kimchi, and galbi meat to the pan along with the scallion oil. Stir-fry everything together quickly over high heat. Give it a good ‘shake shake’ to combine all the ingredients.
Step 3
This step clarifies that all ingredients should be finely chopped. If you haven’t already, ensure the carrot, kimchi, and galbi meat are all diced small. This ensures they mix well with the rice and are easy to eat. Continue to stir-fry until all ingredients are evenly cooked.
Step 4
Now it’s time to add the warm rice. Break up any clumps of rice with a spatula or spoon and stir-fry while ensuring the rice is well separated. It’s crucial to stir-fry thoroughly so that each grain of rice is coated with the delicious seasonings. Continue stir-frying over medium heat until the rice grains become fluffy and slightly crisp.
Step 5
If you prefer larger pieces of meat for a chewier texture, you can dice the galbi meat a bit larger. (If you already did this in step 2, you can skip this note). Once the rice and ingredients are well stir-fried, just before turning off the heat, crumble in the seasoned seaweed (gim) and add a drizzle of sesame oil. The savory umami from the gim and the nutty aroma of the sesame oil will elevate the fried rice to another level! Gently mix everything together, and your delicious Galbi Fried Rice is ready!
