Get ready for your kitchen to smell like a pro Korean restaurant. #impressed

3-4 servings

Ingredients

5 cups of cooked rice (brown rice of any kind is best since it's a whole food)

2 cups of kimchi, chopped up if you prefer

1 green onion, sliced

1 tsp of soy sauce

1 tbsp of brown sugar

1 tsp of gochugaru Korean red chili powder (optional)

roasted sesame seeds (optional)

1-2 cups of water, for cooking

Directions

Step 1

Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat. Add sliced green onion and kimchi and saute for a few minutes until kimchi has softened. (Optional: use 1 tbsp of cooking oil instead of water). As the kimchi and green onion cook down, if the pan gets too hot and things are burning, add about 1 tbsp of water at a time.

Step 2

Add soy sauce (1 tsp), brown sugar (1 tbsp), and gochugaru (1 tsp) if using - mix.

Step 3

Mix in cooked rice. Once the rice is well mixed with everything, flatten the rice in the pan and cover for about 2 minutes over medium low heat.

To plate

Top with fresh green onions and roasted sesame seeds. Voila!
