Fried rice is a staple in the Ro-Ri household and it frequently appears on the table. This quick and simple dish is a complete meal in itself. It can be loaded up with all kinds of meats like minced pork, sausages, and shrimps. The vegetables may include cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, green beans, sweet green peas, and zucchinis, just to name a few.

I usually cook our fried rice in two batches as fried rice tastes better made in small quantities. This works out really well for us as I am able to spice it up for Ro-Ri San and me while keeping it mild for the boys.

This past weekend I made Kimchi Fried Rice with some mature kimchi I had left in the refrigerator. I also added some dried shrimps to give it an umami flavor. Dried shrimps may be substituted with fresh shrimps, ham, or minced pork if preferred.

Kimchi Fried Rice is often served with a “sunny-side” egg on the top. It is just as delicious with or without the egg. The choice is yours.

    Kimchi really whets the appetite! I always have some in the fridge (store bought). Actually, I like it best when it is fresh. I made some not too long ago but it did not last for long…. 🙂

    I made this last night and it was delicious! I added chopped onion and more peas (because I love them!) and used fresh shrimp. I found a brand of kimchi that I like recently, and despite living in South Korea for over a year, last week was the first time I actually bought kimchi in a store!! I usually prefer my kimchi cooked or warm and I like all kinds of different veggies made into kimchi! Thanks for a great site, I’m reading and reading! 🙂
