Spicy and Savory Tuna Kimchi Fried Rice
Make Delicious Tuna Kimchi Fried Rice with the Addition of Kimchi
I learned this recipe from ‘Happy Together’s Night Restaurant’ a while ago and have been making it frequently since. With the addition of spicy tuna, this recipe is guaranteed to be delicious. It’s a simple yet satisfying dish perfect for any meal.
Ingredients- 1 can (approx. 150g) Spicy Canned Tuna
- 1 ladleful (approx. same amount as tuna) Kimchi
- 2 Eggs
- 2 bowls Cooked Rice
- A little Sesame Oil
- A pinch of Black Pepper
- 1 Tbsp Cooking Oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
To enhance the flavor of the kimchi, finely chop about one ladleful of well-fermented kimchi. Aim for a quantity similar to the spicy tuna for a balanced taste.
Step 2
Let’s prepare the perfect fried eggs to accompany the fried rice. Lightly grease a pan, crack in two eggs, and cook them to your preference, whether sunny-side up or fully cooked. Season lightly with salt.
Step 3
Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a frying pan over medium-low heat. Add the chopped kimchi and stir-fry until it becomes tender and slightly translucent, ensuring it doesn’t burn. Stir-frying the kimchi sufficiently is key.
Step 4
Once the kimchi is nicely sautéed, open one can of spicy tuna, including the oil, and add it to the pan. The oil from the can adds great flavor, so don’t discard it! Stir and cook the tuna and kimchi together for another 2-3 minutes.
Step 5
When all the ingredients are well combined and fragrant, turn off the heat temporarily. Add two bowls of warm cooked rice. Using a spatula or spoon, gently break up the rice and mix it thoroughly with the tuna and kimchi mixture, ensuring no clumps remain.
Step 6
After the rice is well incorporated, turn the heat back on to low. Stir-fry the rice lightly for about 1-2 minutes until the grains are slightly separated and fluffy. Gently stir-frying is important so the seasoning coats each grain of rice.
Step 7
Once the fried rice is done, turn off the heat. Drizzle a little sesame oil for a nutty aroma and sprinkle with a pinch of black pepper. Gently mix everything together with chopsticks or a spatula to further enhance the flavors.
Step 8
Your delicious Spicy Tuna Kimchi Fried Rice is now ready! Serve it with the prepared fried eggs for a complete and satisfying meal. It’s a truly wonderful and hearty dish!
