Ingredients

2 Tbsp oil or butter 30 mL
½ cup chopped white onion about ½ onion
2 cloves garlic minced
1 cup kimchi 200 g

3 cups cooked rice cooled, 200 g

Instructions

Flavor: In a large wok, heat oil or butter over medium/high. Add onion and garlic, cooking until soft and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add kimchi and veggies, cooking until veggies are tender.
Rice: Add rice and kimchi juice, stirring to coat evenly. Continue cooking until rice is warm.
Egg: Make a hole in the middle of the rice so you can see the bottom of the pan. Crack eggs into the hole and cook until scrambled, then stir to evenly combine with the rice.
