Whenever I have Kimchi and thinly sliced pork at home, I want to make Kimchi fried rice. Super quick and easy, so it is good for college meals or lunch for busy days.
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 much milder than the original ones 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 1 cup of rice, add 0.7 cup of water. You will think the cooked rice looks hard but that is the best for fried rice!
