Have you ever wondered what to do with leftover gimbap or its ingredients? This recipe shows you how to easily make a flavorful fried rice. It’s a simple yet satisfying meal that transforms leftovers into something special.
Ingredients- 2 bowls of cooked rice (warm)
- 5 strips of pickled radish (danmuji, approx. 50g)
- 5 strips of ham (approx. 50g)
- 5 strips of seasoned burdock root (ueong, approx. 50g)
- 5 strips of egg garnish (approx. 50g)
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
- 1/2 Tbsp oyster sauce
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare your gimbap ingredients or any leftover gimbap you have. If you have whole gimbap rolls, you can separate the fillings to use in the fried rice.
Step 2
Next, chop all the prepared ingredients (pickled radish, ham, burdock root, and egg garnish) into bite-sized pieces. Using scissors makes this process quick and easy. Aim for uniform pieces, about 0.5cm x 0.5cm.
Step 3
Heat a pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Let the oil warm up gently until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Step 4
Add the chopped ingredients to the pan and stir-fry for about 3 minutes. Sautéing them in the sesame oil will bring out their flavors and slightly cook the ham and burdock, improving their texture.
Step 5
Once the ingredients are lightly sautéed, add 2 bowls of warm cooked rice. Gently break up any clumps of rice with your spatula or spoon and stir-fry for about 2 minutes, until the rice grains are separate and slightly toasted.
Step 6
When the rice is well combined with the ingredients, add 1/2 tablespoon of oyster sauce for an extra boost of savory flavor. Continue to stir-fry for another minute, ensuring the oyster sauce is evenly distributed.
Step 7
Stir-fry until the oyster sauce is fully incorporated, coating all the ingredients and rice with a glossy sheen. Your delicious Gimbap Fried Rice is now ready! Serve immediately while warm.
