With the remaining Kimchi left in the fridge from the weekend's Korean feast, I decided to make use of it to prepare a simple lunch for myself (and enough for dinner for the folks) - Bokkumbap (Korean Fried Rice/Kimchi Fried Rice).

Here's what you'll need to prepare this really fast and simple dish especially when you're out of ideas on what to cook for lunch or even dinner.

200g minced pork

4 tsp light soy sauce

1 tbsp sesame oil

1 tsp Korean chili powder (gochugaru)

400g Kimchi, chopped (but i used 650g)

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 onion, peeled and chopped

1 medium carrot, peeled and chopped into cubes

400g (4 cups) cold cooked rice (leftover rice is better)

1) Combine the pork, light soy sauce, sesame oil and chili powder in a bowl and mix well. (I left in the chill room for an hour for the mixture to penetrate the pork)

2) Heat the oil in a wok over low heat until hot, then add onion and carrots and stir-fry till golden and soft.

3) Add garlic and pork, and stir-fry till almost done, then add kimchi.

4) Add salt for taste (optional)

5) Add cooked rice to the pan and continue to stir-fry until heated through and well blended before serving.

Serves 4 - 6

Preparation time: 15mins

Cooking time: About 20 - 25mins

Complement this dish with Korean Seaweed Soup, think it would go really well together! (:
