Preparation

  1. 1

    Prep the Ingredients

    Gather all ingredients. Chop the green onions, and if using, dice the carrots. Make sure the kimchi is chopped into smaller pieces if it's not already.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

  2. 3

    Sauté Garlic and Veggies

    Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. If using, add the diced carrots and frozen peas, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until they soften.

  3. 4

    Add Kimchi

    Stir in the chopped kimchi and cook for about 3-4 minutes, allowing it to caramelize slightly.

  4. 5

    Incorporate Rice

    Add the cooked rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps. Stir to combine with the kimchi mixture.

  5. 6

    Season the Rice

    Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil, and mix thoroughly. Adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper to taste.

  6. 7

    Cook the Eggs

    In a separate small pan, scramble the eggs until fully cooked, then add them to the fried rice mixture.

  7. 8

    Finish with Green Onions

    Finally, add the chopped green onions, stirring to incorporate them into the fried rice.

  8. 9

    Serve

    Remove from heat and serve hot, garnished with optional sesame seeds if desired.
