We can cook 39th. -Kimchi Bokkeumbap-

Hello~ This is we can cook time!!! Today, I cook Kimchi fried rice. This simple, simple dish is super, super tasty. It’s just a few ingredients, but it’s a dish much loved by Koreans. Many Koreans like to put a fried egg on top, so I will do that version. You don’t need to prepare much in advance for kimchi bokkeumbap if you have kimchi and rice on hand. But, I put some onions and hams. It just depends on what you have in your regregiater. Let's start!!  

Ingredients:
2 bowls steamed rice , 1 cup chopped kimchi, 1 onion, Little piece of hams, 1 sheet of kim, 1 egg

Directions:

1. chop the kimchi, onions and hams. 
2. Heat up a pan. Add the vegetable oil.
3. Add the kimchi, onions, hams and stir fry for a while
4. Add rice, kimchi juice, and little of salts. Stir all the ingredients together for about 7 minutes with a wooden spoon.
5. Add butter and remove from the heat.
6. Sprinkle with roasted gim and put the fried egges. Serve right away.


It's so easy!! isn't it!! Kimch is very useful food in many ways. Next time, I'm going to cook rice balls. would you expect it?? See you next time~~!!
