My Pork Kimchi fried rice

Kimchi fried rice (Kimchi Bokkeumbap, 김치 볶음밥) is a type of Korean fried rice. It is absolutely delicious and gives you so much joy! I love Kimchi in general but I usually don’t enjoy very spicy foods. Kimchi fried rice that I cook is Japanized so it is milder and I even add pork to it 🙂

The #1 tip for making the best Pork Kimchi fried rice

What rice you use is very important for making perfect fried rice. Warm and freshly cooked rice is always tasty but not really the best option for fried rice. That’s because freshly cooked rice is soft and has a lot of moisture. If you use it for fried rice it becomes clumpy and sticky.
So the easiest way to make the best rice for fried rice is by adding 1 cup less water when cooking it. For example, if you make 2 cups of rice, add 1 cup of water. You will think the cooked rice looks hard but that is the best for fried rice!

Notes

*1 Cooked rice for fried rice should be little bit harder than usual cooked rice. So if you think the rice is too moist and soft, place it in a medium bowl and cover, then simply put it in the fridge for a few hours.
