Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare all the ingredients for your delicious flying fish roe kimchi fried rice. Finely chop the kimchi into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2
Finely chop the washed green onions. This ensures they are evenly distributed in the fried rice, adding a beautiful color and fresh aroma.
Step 3
Chop the well-fermented napa cabbage kimchi into small, bite-sized pieces. If the pieces are too large, they may not mix well with the rice. If your kimchi is very saucy, you can lightly squeeze out some of the juice before chopping.
Step 4
Heat a pan and add 2 Tbsp of sesame oil. Add the chopped kimchi and 2 tsp of gochugaru. Stir-fry over medium heat for 3 minutes, allowing the kimchi to soften and release its deep flavor. This step is crucial for developing the base flavor.
Step 5
Add 1 bowl of warm rice to the sautéed kimchi. Using a spatula, break up any clumps of rice and stir-fry evenly over medium heat for about 2 minutes.
Step 6
Once the rice and kimchi are partially combined, add 2 Tbsp of soy sauce, 1 tsp of sugar, and 2 pinches of black pepper. Continue to stir-fry over medium heat for another minute, ensuring the seasonings are well distributed throughout the rice.
Step 7
Finally, add 3 Tbsp of fresh flying fish roe. Turn the heat up to high and stir-fry quickly for about 3 minutes. Overcooking the flying fish roe can make it mushy, so a quick sauté on high heat is best to maintain its delightful pop.
Step 8
Add the chopped green onions and stir-fry briefly for one more moment before turning off the heat. The key is to let the fresh aroma of the green onions infuse the entire fried rice.
Step 9
Once all the ingredients are well combined, your flavorful flying fish roe kimchi fried rice is ready! Admire the glossy, appetizing appearance of your perfectly cooked fried rice.
Step 10
For an extra touch, fry an egg to your preference (a runny yolk is recommended) and place it on top of the fried rice. Breaking the yolk and mixing it in adds a richer, more decadent flavor. Your wonderful flying fish roe kimchi fried rice is now complete!
