Baek Jong-won's Kimchi Fried Rice

Recipe 🍳

Cooking tips 💡

• Use well-fermented, tangy kimchi for a clean, balanced flavor. Under-fermented kimchi can result in excessive sweetness when cooked.
• Covering the pan and simmering after adding water is essential. Skipping this step will leave the radish crunchy instead of soft and smooth—the hallmark texture of restaurant-style kimchi fried rice.
• Pork can be used instead of beef, and if no meat is available, simply use more vegetable oil and make sure to render plenty of green onion oil for flavor.
• For extra spice and color, sprinkle additional gochugaru after finishing the dish.
