Introduction
This kimchi fried rice can be easily made using only a microwave-safe container and a microwave, without the need for a frying pan or a kitchen knife. By not mixing the rice and egg before heating, you achieve a textured egg consistency and a fluffy, separate-grain finish just like stir-fried rice.
Step 1
If using pre-cooked rice packets, heat them in the microwave beforehand.
Step 2
[Common] Crack an egg into each of the two microwave-safe containers (or microwave-safe skillets) and lightly whisk with chopsticks.
Step 3
[Common] Add sesame oil (1 tablespoon each) on top of the whisked egg in each container.
Step 4
[Common] Place the warmed rice (200g each) on top of the egg. Do not mix at this stage; just layer it on.
Step 5
[Common] Place the kimchi (70g each) on top of the rice, and use kitchen shears to cut it into bite-sized pieces.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
⚠️ If you mix the rice and egg before heating, it will become like 'egg-over-rice' (tamago kake gohan) and the texture of the ingredients will disappear, so please be sure to keep them in layers without mixing before microwaving.
💡 Using a good amount of sesame oil helps the rice achieve a fluffy finish and adds a savory aroma similar to stir-frying.
🍳 You can minimize cleanup by using kitchen shears to cut the kimchi and green onions directly over the container instead of using a cutting board.
