Kimchi Fried Rice

Homestyle fried rice made in just 30 min! Loaded with kimchi, mushrooms, carrots, kale and a fried egg! Sure to be a weeknight favorite!

I cannot even begin to tell you how much I love kimchi fried rice.

It’s a taste of home, yet you can totally make it your own by throwing in everything you have lingering in the fridge – from leftover rice to the last few carrots, mushrooms and kale.

I like to keep this meatless but you can dress this up with your choice of protein – rotisserie chicken, ground pork, or even ground beef.

But all I really need is that runny egg on top, letting it drip right into the fried rice goodness. It mellows out a bit of the heat, while keeping you full and protein-happy.

If you like extra heat, try adding additional gochujang. It packs quite a punch!
