EASY HOMEMADE KIMCHI FRIED RICE 🍚🍳🥬

Hey everybody!

In my last post, I made a homemade kimchi recipe. It’s a lot of kimchi, like over 6 lbs!

To utilize this kimchi, there are so many recipes that you can make with it. I will feature those recipes as we go along but this recipe that I’m showing you today is one of my favorites, kimchi fried rice!

It’s also budget friendly.

You can make this kimchi fried rice with any protein. You can use fried eggs, veggies (yes they have protein 😉) shrimp, chicken, tofu, anything you enjoy.

I made it with Saeu-jeot (salted shrimp) because I just wanted something very quickly made.

This recipe if great for when you want something quick. I made this for dinner and saved the rest for my lunch the next day. It tasted delicious for lunch too.

Below are the ingredients you need to make this recipe. Most of them you can find at the grocery store.

If you did not make homemade kimchi, that’s fine! Just buy some at a place that sells it like Trader Joe’s, WholeFoods, ShopRite, ACME, 99 Ranch, HMart, etc.

This recipe yields 4 to 5 servings
