Well-fermented kimchi fried hard with rice and gochujang, topped with a fried egg, one of the best ways to use up an older jar of kimchi.
Tips for the best kimchi fried rice
- Older, more fermented kimchi gives a better flavour here than fresh kimchi.
- Day-old rice fries far better than fresh, since the grains are drier and separate more easily.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use fresh kimchi instead of well-fermented?
Yes, though the flavour will be milder and less tangy. A splash of extra kimchi juice helps make up for it.
What else can I use kimchi in?
See our quick kimchi noodles recipe for another simple way to use up a jar.
