Josh's Kimchi Bokum Bahp - Kimchi fried rice

Great wholesome Korean style comfort food. This is a down home hearty easy to make dish that is filling and tastes even better as left overs.

Ingredients:
Chopped, slightly sour kimchi and liquids
Red bean paste (kochi jjang)
Some type of meat (spam, bulgogi, spicey sausage, etc.)
Olive oil / sesame oil
Ground sesame seeds
Salted sliced seaweed
Several eggs
Rice

Put sesame oil/olive oil in a pan or wok and bring to med/high heat. Put meats in the pan and fry up to half or medium doneness. Add kimchi and cook up some more until slighly wilted. Add rice, kochi jjang, crack a few eggs and other ingredients and fry up on medium. Stir and add oil as needed so the rice doesn't burn or stick. Adding seaweed and sugar are optional according to preferences. Old kimchi jjigae can be used in place of kimchi from a jar or it can be mixed if the fresh kimchi is cooked first with the other ingredients to bring to similar level of cookness before adding the kimchi jjigae to the batch in the final half of the cooking time. Cooks in 20-30 minutes while stirring and folding the mixture constantly. Using a wok or deep dish pan is recommended.

Serve with ground sesame seeds and chopped seaweed. Excellent with soup on the side.

Enjoy!
