Seasonings & Garnish- Soy sauce, 1 Tbsp

- Dried seaweed flakes (Gim-jaban), a pinch
- Soy sauce, 1 Tbsp
- Sesame oil, 1/2 Tbsp
- Dried seaweed flakes (Gim-jaban), a pinch
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the ham that will add flavor to your fried rice. Any ham you have at home will work, but using sliced ham makes it convenient.
Step 2
Prepare well-fermented kimchi and chop it into bite-sized pieces. If the pieces are too large, it can be inconvenient when stir-frying.
Step 3
Cut each of the 3 slices of ham in half. This helps prevent the ham from breaking apart while stir-frying and ensures it mixes well with the rice.
Step 4
Then, cut the halved sliced ham lengthwise into strips, resembling julienned pieces. Aim for a size that will mix well with the rice grains.
Step 5
Now, heat a pan and add the chopped kimchi and sliced ham. Stir-fry them together until the kimchi becomes slightly translucent and the ham releases some oil. This will make it even more delicious.
Step 6
Once the kimchi and ham are sufficiently stir-fried, add the cooked rice for your family to the pan. Warm rice is better than cold rice as it prevents clumping.
Step 7
After adding the rice, use a spatula to break up any clumps and stir-fry everything together until the rice, kimchi, and ham are evenly mixed. It’s important to stir-fry thoroughly so that the seasonings coat every grain of rice.
Step 8
When the rice is fluffy and the kimchi seasoning is well combined, pour 1 Tbsp of soy sauce along the edge of the pan. Allowing the soy sauce to slightly caramelize will add more depth of flavor. Stir-fry together for about 1 minute.
Step 9
Turn off the heat, then add 1/2 Tbsp of sesame oil and mix everything thoroughly. Adding sesame oil after turning off the heat helps preserve its fragrant aroma.
Step 10
Serve the finished kimchi fried rice in a nice bowl. Finally, sprinkle some dried seaweed flakes (Gim-jaban) over the top for added savory flavor and texture. This simple yet delicious sliced ham kimchi fried rice is ready to enjoy! Bon appétit!
