This model is easy, however you’ll be able to costume it up with a little bit of beef, rooster, pork, ham, and even spam. Many Koreans additionally wish to put a fried egg on high, however my household prefers this easy model that I’m exhibiting you right here. When my son lived within the college dorm, visits with him had been uncommon. I talked to him on the cellphone earlier than he got here and I requested:
“What meals do you miss probably the most? I’ll make it for you once you come.”
I figured I would want a while to arrange and store forward of time, however he answered: “I miss kimchi-bokkeumbap.”
“What? That’s it? Is there anything?”
“Simply kimchi-bokkeumbap, Mother.”
As you see on this video, you don’t want to arrange a lot prematurely for kimchi-bokkeumbap if in case you have kimchi and rice available. So in fact I made it for him, together with grilled beef and many excessive protein meals. As quickly as he got here house, I used to be able to stir fry. He cherished it!
Lots of people say making fried rice is greatest with leftover rice straight from the fridge, or simply day-old rice, however I’ve by no means actually tasted the distinction in taste, style, or texture. I take advantage of contemporary rice on a regular basis. I simply let it quiet down a bit earlier than I stir fry, and my kimchi bokkeumbap is all the time scrumptious. It’s the perfect fried rice I’ve ever tasted, significantly better than the kimchi-bokkeumbap at a Korean restaurant.
