Kimchi Fried Rice

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

In the spirit of celebration for the drop of BTS’ new single “Permission To Dance”, I wanted to share this recipe that’s one of the boys’ favorite dishes! The classic, timeless Kimchi Fried Rice (Kimchi Bokkeumbap).

It was featured in one of the episodes of “In The Soop” where they cooked it on a cast iron pot lid called Sottukkeong. Though frying it in a pan is just as good, I would very much enjoy cooking it that way one day. Looks so fun!

I really love the combination of tangy, sour, and spicy tastes from kimchi. And I feel like kimchi fried rice is one of the best ways to enjoy this delicacy.

An optional step that I always do whenever making kimchi fried rice is to top it off with some cheese and a fried egg. Though the shape of my egg in this picture…leave’s a lot to be desired. I was distracted and couldn’t salvage it in time. This was my last egg too! But hey, it’s still a delicious egg. (And if you squint hard enough it kind of looks like a heart! 💜 )

Perfect for sharing but I honestly can finish this all on my own! I’m keeping it simple for this one but sometimes I like to add tomatoes, avocado and sour cream.

This Malaysian style soy sauce eggs is one of my favorite easy meals and it’s also a comfort food not just for me but for many Malaysians. I ate this a lot growing up and during my student days. Probably one of the first recipes I learned how to cook!
The sauce is just sweet soy sauce (kicap/kecap manis), light soy sauce and water!

Savory Oatmeal @farahjeats I’m a savory kind o Savory Oatmeal @farahjeats 
I’m a savory kind of girl and have always preferred my oatmeals savory. Some people think it’s weird, I say don’t knock it until you’ve tried it. The best part? You can be creative with this! I’ve added pesto to my oatmeal before and it was delicious.
I also prefer a thicker oatmeal, add more water if you don’t. 
Would you try this or are you sticking to your sweet oatmeal? 😋
