Today, I decided to cook a different cuisine and that is Korean. So earlier today, I got Kimchi from a nearby Korean grocery store. Since making kimchi takes a lot of time with fermentation, I decided to buy a ready-made one. Maybe in the future, I’ll try to make kimchi on my own. For now, I used the ready-made kimchi in Kimchi Fried Rice.

Th fried rice is a dish on its own. If you like spicy food, you will like this fried rice. This must be one of the most flavorful fried rice I have eaten. If you like Kimchi, you should try out cooking this fried rice. Top it off with chopped leeks or with sunny-side up egg. It’s picture-perfect too!😃
