written by Taufulou

Another of my favourite dish whenever I am in Korean restaurant is Kimchi fried rice. Not every one can cook a nice one, as every one have their very own Kimchi fried rice 김치볶음밥 recipe. This is what I learn and I DIY my own How to cook Kimchi Fried Rice Home Recipe.

Prep time: 5 minutes

cooking time : 10 minutes.

Ingredients:

  1. 120g SPAM
  2. 20 g Garlic
  3. 70 g onion
  4. 350g kimchi (2-3 weeks old prefer)

Others:

    1. 1 tbl spoon sesame oil
    2. 1 tbl spoon soy sauce

Over the video, I created an ADSMR cooking for Bacon Kimchi Fried Rice for you to follow.

There are a lot of SPAM and I got this bread as there were not many choices left. SPAM – Portugeese Sasuage – so so only this spam. Do avoid as it doesnt have the spam fragrant.

I only use 2 slice from the whole can cuz there is only 2 of us.

Steps:

  1. Fried onion and garlic first, for about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Add in spam to fried for another 3 minutes
  3. add kim chi for a quick fry of 2 minutes
  4. Add in rice (do not use Basmati rice as it taste weird and the texture is not right) – normal jasmine rice should be ok.

Shimmer the chicken for 10 minutes in high heat. Then it is ready to serve. Do note to test your cooking in between the time frame. Bacause I add in too much water, I add in 2 pinch of sugar, 1 table spoon of soy sauce and 1 tea spoon of Korean spicy chili flakes.
