TIPS
Note:
(a) You can use add a couple of cut chillis before mixing in the cooked rice if you desire a more fiery taste.
(b) If you are feeling slightly more carnivorous, add in chicken pieces or ground beef instead of cooked vegetables. Ensure it is cooked by stir-frying for longer period of time before adding in the sauce.
(c) For a more authentic presentation, retain some kimchi to serve at the side of your kimchi fried rice.
(d) You can choose to serve the kimchi fried rice with a stir-fried egg on top. Your dish will resemble the breakfast served in casual eateries in Korea!
(e) If you prefer not to buy the pre-mixed paste, simply ensure that you add in more kimchi juice with the kimchi. The kimchi juice can serve as a substitute for the paste.
