Kimchi Fried Rice

serves 4

recipe from my co-worker, Seungmi Louis

prep time: 15 min / cook time: 20 min

INGREDIENTS

3 tbsp butter

3 tbsp vegetable oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 c kimchi, chopped

2 green onions, chopped

1 lb shrimp, diced

1 jalepeño, minced

2 slices spam, diced

3 c cold day old rice

1-2 tbsp kimchi juice (optional)

2-4 eggs

INSTRUCTIONS

• In a large skillet, heat up vegetable oil and butter over medium-high heat.

• Add garlic to oil/butter mixture.

* Be sure to not burn/scorch the garlic.

• Add kimchi, spam and jalepeño to mixture. Cook until kimchi is wilted and slightly brown but not burnt.

• Add shrimp and green onions to mixture. Cook until shrimp is done.

• Add rice to mixture. If your rice is dry, you can add kimchi juice.

• Toss everything together until thoroughly mixed.

• Cook eggs sunnyside up, season with salt and pepper.

** ADDIECAKES' NOTES **

• Day old rice is key for making any fried rice. The rice needs to be dry and it helps reduces the chance of wet clumpy fried rice.

• You can use any type of meat in any amount. I happened to have left over spam.
