Kimch Fried Rice with Tocino

This dish is very easy. If you love Kimchi (traditional fermented Korean side dish made of vegetables with a variety of seasonings according to Wikipedia), I’m sure you will love it even more when there are a lot of ways to create dishes with it. Rice for example, can be mixed with Kimchi and it will instantly turn into Kimchi Fried Rice. The dish starts with chopped kimchi, onions, olive oil, Kimchi juice and seasoning (optional) of your choice and lastly, cooked/leftover rice. You can garnish your Kimchi rice dish with spring onions or pork tocino (sweet cured pork as shown in the  image) or any meat of your choice.


Ingredients:
1/3 cup Kimchi, chopped
2 tbsp Kimchi juice
1 tbsp seasoning (your choice)
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cups rice, cooked
1 tbsp olive oil
Garnish - your choice of garnish may either be sweet cured pork strips, scrambled egg, garlic flakes, spring onions or whatever you prefer.


Procedures:
1. Heat olive oil in a wok. Saute onion and kimchi until the color becomes translucent and the kimchi juice appears.
2. Add you choice of seasoning (optional) and Kimchi juice (from the Kimchi container). Saute well until coated.
3. Add cooked rice and mix well until evenly coated with kimchi juice and chopped kimchi.
4. Garnish with your favorite toppings – meat, fried garlic flakes, spring onions or whatever you prefer. Serve hot.
