Hot Dog & Kimchi Fried Rice
Kimchi fried rice is a delicious comfort food. It’s different than other fried rice, due to the addition of kimchi juice and hot pepper paste. These ingredients coat the rice, making it glossy and luxurious.
Hot pepper paste can make the dish really spicy, so if spicy isn’t your thing, feel free to leave it out.
This recipe cooks quickly, is great for a weekday dinner (plus lunch the next day), and is perfect for using leftover rice. Seriously, old take-out rice was made for this recipe.
Hot dogs and kimchi work really well together in this recipe. This fried rice is super savory and delicious, and just asking for you to make it!
