A quick and easy kimchi fried rice recipe featuring day-old rice, spicy-sour kimchi, and topped with a perfectly fried runny egg yolk for a comforting and flavorful meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (400g) cooked day-old rice
  • 1 cup (150g) chopped kimchi
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) vegetable oil
  • Optional: ½ cup (75g) cooked diced pork or bacon
  • Optional: splash of kimchi juice
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon gochujang (Korean chili paste)

Instructions

  1. Chop kimchi into bite-sized pieces. Mince garlic cloves and slice green onions thinly. Dice cooked meat if using.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking (about 1-2 minutes).
  3. Add minced garlic and stir constantly for 30 seconds to avoid burning.
  4. Add chopped kimchi and stir-fry until fragrant and slightly caramelized (2-3 minutes).
  5. Add cooked meat if using and heat through.
  6. Add day-old cooked rice, breaking up clumps gently with a spatula. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until rice is slightly toasted but not dry.
  7. Drizzle soy sauce and toasted sesame oil over the rice. Mix well and adjust seasoning as needed. Add gochujang for extra heat if desired.
  8. Toss in sliced green onions and stir for another 30 seconds.
  9. In a separate small non-stick pan, heat a teaspoon of oil over medium heat. Crack eggs gently and cook sunny side up until whites are set but yolks remain runny (2-3 minutes). Season lightly with salt.
  10. Plate the kimchi fried rice and top each serving with a fried egg. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use day-old rice for best texture to avoid mushiness. Keep heat medium-high for caramelization but avoid burning. Fry eggs in a separate pan to keep yolks intact. Adjust kimchi spice level by rinsing or adding sugar if too sour or spicy. For vegetarian, omit meat and use tamari instead of soy sauce.
