Kimchi

I had purchased a lifetime supply of kimchi in my refrigerator because of the big sale to celebrate “Korean Food Week” at the local “Park-n-Shop” here in Hong Kong. This was the perfect recipe to use up some of the inventory. I did not have many of the items that Kelly used in her recipe (edamame, onions, etc) here at home so had to make some exchanges and deletions but the results were amazing even with just 6 little ingredients. Yes just 6 little ingredients for an Asian inspired recipe!!!

This recipe is happily gluten-free, vegan, dairy/lactose free and a super affordable way to fill up your hungry family and friends.

I know that you too can do wonders with this recipe just using what you have at home. Kimchi is what I call the perfect fermented food. Kimchi is great for your health as it has many nutrients, it also helps keep a normal flora in your gut to keep it happy and the best reason of all is that it tastes absolutely delicious. It also has everything in it that you might want to add in a stir fry like tons of garlic, carrot, onions, so you don’t have add it again to the recipe, unless you want to.

Do not worry if you do not like spicy food but something amazing happens when you stir fry kimchi. It is magic as it goes from a spicy sour fermented cabbage to sweet and slightly spicy kimchi. The cabbage and veggies sweeten slightly when you stir fry them. I never knew this until I started experimenting with it here at home.

I live in Asia and it is no shock that I make fried rice almost every day. After all, I have to make something to fill up the team here on the home front. You can make perfect fried rice in your own home.

I changed up a couple of steps in Kelly’s recipe as my boys like their fried rice very dry and almost crunchy. It is a texture thing and I think you will like it too. I stir fried my kimchi first to get it nice and dry and then I added the rice and other ingredients and this worked like a charm for me. Next time, I can’t wait to try it with the addition of edamame beans.
