Kimchi Fried Rice

June 13

The key ingredient in this dish is the kimchi, a fermented asian cabbage with gochujang (a spicy chilli paste) which gives a spicy and tangy twist to the fried rice. It’s a real treat garnished with toasted sesame seeds and strips of nori seaweed. Like many rice dishes this is one is only improved with the addition of a fried egg, plopped on top.
