KIMCHI FRIED RICE

Not the high-heat stir-fry you might expect, Grace Lee's home-style fried-rice recipe uses a simple technique - make an easy, flavorful kimchi sauce, mellowed out with butter, and sauté leftover rice in it. It's perfect for a snack or a quick, simple meal. The Spam, though optional, reflects many Koreans' love of foods introduced by the American military.

Time 30m

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 small onion, medium dice
1 cup roughly chopped kimchi (6 ounces)
2 tablespoons kimchi juice, or to taste
1/2 cup small-dice Spam, ham or leftover cooked meat
2 cups cooked, cooled rice (preferably short-grain)
2 teaspoons soy sauce, or to taste
1 teaspoon sesame oil, or to taste
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 eggs
Salt to taste
Crumbled or slivered nori (roasted seaweed) for garnish
Sesame seeds for garnish

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.

KIMCHI FRIED RICE



Kimchi Fried Rice image

Fried rice breathes new life into leftover grains. We've included instructions for making a quick kimchi, but this fried rice is also a tasty way to use up older kimchi you may have in the back of the fridge.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 30m

Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 to 8 slices thick-cut bacon
3 tablespoons sesame seeds
3 nori sheets (dried seaweed)
3 cups Kimchi, recipe follows
4 1/2 to 5 cups cooked medium-grain white rice, chilled
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil

Steps:

  • Cut the bacon crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces. Toast the sesame seeds in a large skillet over medium heat until golden, shaking the pan, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Cut the nori sheets in half with shears, then cut into 1/2-inch-thick strips.
  • Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and stir-fry until almost cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain the kimchi, reserving the liquid. Raise the heat to high and stir-fry the kimchi until browned, 7 to 8 minutes. Add the rice, the reserved kimchi liquid, the sesame oil and half of the nori strips. Continue to cook, turning and flattening the rice mixture with a spatula until it starts to form a golden crust, about 8 minutes. (For more of a crust, remove the pan from the heat, cover and set aside 10 minutes.)
  • Transfer the fried rice to a serving dish and sprinkle with the remaining nori strips and the toasted sesame seeds.
  • Make this spicy Korean condiment, then turn it into fried rice or serve it with your steak: Pulse 3 chopped red jalapenos, 4 garlic cloves, 1/4 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons chopped ginger, 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes and 2 tablespoons each fish sauce and salt in a food processor. Cut 1/2 head napa cabbage and 6 scallions into 2-inch pieces; toss with the jalapeno paste. Refrigerate at least 4 hours.

KIMCHI RICE PORRIDGE



Kimchi Rice Porridge image

A combination of pungent chopped kimchi, toasted scallions and ginger, and rice that's been bolstered with a hit of kimchi brine, this porridge is fiery and sinus-clearing. The rice isn't perfectly fluffy; instead, leftover rice simmers until it breaks down from kernel to stew. (You can, of course, use raw rice, too: Cook it in Step 2 for about an hour, partly covered and stirring occasionally.) You'll want to cook the scallions and ginger until nearly burned, and top the whole thing with a fried egg (or make it soft-boiled). Take note that most kimchi gets its funk from shrimp, anchovies and-or fish sauce, so if you'd like to make this dish vegetarian, make sure to use a vegetarian kimchi.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
6 scallions (about 1 bunch), white and pale green parts roughly chopped, plus more for garnish
2 tablespoons peeled and finely minced ginger
1/2 cup chopped kimchi, plus 1 tablespoon kimchi brine
2 cups cooked long- or short-grain rice
Kosher salt, to taste
4 eggs, for serving
Toasted sesame oil, for serving

Steps:

  • In a saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Once shimmering, add the scallions and ginger and sauté until soft and toasted in spots, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the kimchi, the rice, and 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, adding more water if necessary, until the rice is broken down and the porridge is the desired consistency (some like their porridge soupy, others thicker with most of the liquid absorbed), 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat and stir in the kimchi brine. Season with salt and more kimchi brine to taste.
  • To serve, fry eggs to your liking. Top each bowl of porridge with an egg, chopped scallions and a drizzle of sesame oil.

Tips:

  • Cook the rice porridge first. This can be done in a rice cooker or on the stovetop. If cooking on the stovetop, use a large pot and bring the water to a boil. Add the rice and salt and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender.
  • While the rice porridge is cooking, prepare the kimchi. If using fresh kimchi, rinse it well and chop it into small pieces. If using fermented kimchi, simply chop it into small pieces.
  • Add the kimchi to the rice porridge. Once the rice porridge is cooked, stir in the kimchi and any additional ingredients you are using, such as vegetables, meat, or seafood. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5-10 minutes, or until the kimchi is heated through.
  • Serve the kimchi rice porridge hot. Top with a sprinkle of green onions, sesame seeds, or other desired toppings.
