Step-by-Step Instructions for Kimchi Fried Rice
- Measure out your kimchi and strain it to collect about ¼ cup of kimchi juice. In a small bowl, combine this kimchi juice with Kikkoman® Soy Sauce, Kikkoman® Fish Sauce, and Kikkoman® Sesame Oil. Mix well and set aside.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of neutral cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped white onion and sauté for approximately 3 minutes, until soft and translucent.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon of grated ginger and 2 cloves of minced garlic into the skillet. Continue to cook for another minute, stirring constantly until fragrant.
- Add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter to the skillet, allowing it to melt and coat the aromatics. Stir in 4 cups of chilled day-old white rice, breaking up any clumps.
- Fold in your strained kimchi along with 1 cup of frozen peas and carrots. Let this cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.
- Pour the sauce mixture over the fried rice and stir thoroughly to incorporate. Allow the rice to cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to caramelize slightly.
- Crack an egg into a separate non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Fry the egg until the white is set and yolk remains slightly runny, about 2-3 minutes.
- Spoon the Kimchi Fried Rice onto serving plates and top each portion with the fried egg. Sprinkle with chopped green onions and serve hot.

Notes
Use day-old, chilled rice for best texture. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid soggy rice. Adjust kimchi quantity based on spice tolerance.
