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.

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.
