Best 5 Kimchi And Shrimp Fried Rice Recipes

KIMCHI AND SHRIMP FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Whisk together the soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, gochujang, honey, sesame oil, garlic and reserved kimchi liquid in a medium bowl until combined. Measure out 1/2 cup of the soy marinade and reserve it for the rice.
• Add the shrimp to the bowl with the remaining marinade and toss until completely coated. (If time allows, let sit uncovered at room temperature for 30 minutes to let the marinade penetrate.) Drain through a medium-mesh strainer, discard the marinade and return the shrimp to the bowl.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat until it shimmers and tiny wisps of smoke are visible. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook, flipping once, until browned on both sides, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to a large bowl.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil in the same skillet over high heat and cook the onions until translucent and just tender, stirring often, about 2 minutes. Add 1/3 cup of the reserved marinade and cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has almost evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the onion mixture to the bowl with the shrimp.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil in the same skillet over high heat and cook the kimchi, tossing often, until most of the liquid has evaporated and the kimchi is lightly browned in spots, about 2 minutes. Add the basil and toss to wilt. Transfer to the bowl with the shrimp.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil in the same skillet over high heat. Add the beaten eggs and cook, stirring vigorously, for 10 seconds (no, really, 10 seconds). Transfer to the bowl with the shrimp and break up the eggs into 1-inch pieces.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in the same skillet over high heat. Add the rice, patting it down into an even layer and breaking up any clumps, and let fry undisturbed for 1 minute. Vigorously toss, breaking up any clumps, until the grains have dried out, separated and start to crisp and lightly brown, about 3 minutes.
• Add the shrimp mixture to the rice and vigorously toss (or stir) until completely combined and the shrimp mixture is evenly distributed throughout the rice. Season with the remaining soy marinade if necessary, adding 1 tablespoon at a time and tossing well to combine, until seasoned as desired.
• Top the fried rice with the scallions before serving.

SHRIMP AND KIMCHI RICE BOWL

Steps:

• Rinse the rice and cook in 2 cups water in a heavy saucepan over medium heat, covered, until tender, 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and keep covered 10 minutes more.
• Meanwhile, toss the cabbage with the salt and set aside in a colander to drain. (It should be sliced as thinly as possible, so it wilts in the salt.)
• Toss the shrimp with the chile-garlic sauce and brown sugar to coat. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook until just cooked through and slightly smoky, 4 to 5 minutes, adding the sesame seeds in the last minute of cooking. Season the shrimp with a pinch of salt.
• Divide the rice between 4 bowls. Top with the shrimp, cabbage, green onion, kimchi and any other vegetables.

Steps:

• Warm butter and olive oil together over medium-high heat in a large skillet or wok. Add in sesame oil. Add onion, carrots, and scallions and cook until onion is translucent, about 2 minutes. Mix in cubed ham and kimchi; cook for 1 more minute. Season with garlic powder.
• Stir in rice and cook until mixture is heated throughout. Drizzle soy sauce over top and mix in gochujang. Stir until well combined and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

KIMCHI FRIED RICE

Steps:

• In a nonstick sauté pan or well-seasoned cast-iron skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat, and add onions. Cook, stirring, until the onions start to sizzle, about 2 minutes. Add kimchi and kimchi juice, and stir until it comes to a boil, about 3 minutes. Add Spam, and cook until sauce is nearly dried out, about 5 minutes.
• Break up the rice in the pan with a spatula, and stir it to incorporate. Turn heat to medium. Cook, stirring, until the rice has absorbed the sauce and is very hot, about 5 minutes. Stir in soy sauce and sesame oil. Taste, and adjust with more soy sauce, sesame oil or kimchi juice. Turn heat down slightly, but let the rice continue to cook, untouched, to lightly brown while you cook the eggs.
• Place a small nonstick sauté pan over medium heat, and add the vegetable oil. When it is hot, add eggs, season with salt and fry to your desired doneness. Serve rice topped with fried eggs, nori and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and cook and stir carrot and green bell pepper until slightly softened, about 5 minutes; stir shrimp, onion, corn, and garlic into carrot mixture. Cook and stir until shrimp turn pink and are no longer translucent, 5 more minutes. Pour off any liquid. Turn heat to low and let mixture simmer.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a separate skillet over medium heat; pour 2 beaten eggs into hot oil and scramble the eggs until firm and no longer runny, 2 to 3 minutes. Mix scrambled eggs lightly into shrimp and vegetables.
• Stir rice, oyster sauce, soy sauce, 1 tablespoon butter, and salt into shrimp mixture, tossing until rice is thoroughly combined with shrimp and vegetables and coated with sauce.
• Heat 1 teaspoon butter in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat until butter stops foaming; break 1 of the 4 remaining eggs into the hot butter. Cover skillet and let egg cook until the bottom is slightly browned, the yolk is runny, and the top of the white is slightly firm, about 3 minutes. Set egg aside. Repeat with remaining 3 eggs.
• Serve shrimp fried rice topped with fried eggs. For a nice presentation, fill a bowl with 1/4 of the fried rice, press lightly to compact, and turn fried rice out onto a serving plate in a dome shape; top with a fried egg. Repeat with remaining rice and eggs.
