  1. JASMINE RICE

    Place the rinsed rice in a pot with 150ml of salted water. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the water has been absorbed, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and steam, 8-10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and cover.

  2. SEED SPRINKLES

    Place the sesame seeds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until they pop, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.

  3. MEATY SHROOMS

    Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the sliced mushrooms until golden, 5-6 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and season.

  4. FLAVOURFUL VEG

    Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the grated Ginger and ¾ of the sliced spring onion until softened, 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly). Add the cooked rice, ½ the chopped kimchi, the soy sauce, and the gochujang sauce (to taste). Fry until combined and coated, 2-3 minutes (shifting constantly). Add the sliced Cabbage, the grated carrot, the edamame beans, and the cooked mushrooms. Fry until the cabbage is wilted but still crunchy, 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat and season.

  5. OPTIONAL EGG

    Place a nonstick pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Crack in 1 egg (optional) and fry until cooked through to your preference. We like the yolk runny and the white just set! Remove from the heat and season.

  6. NOW FOR THE NORI

    Place the nori sheet in a clean pan over medium heat. Toast until crispy, 30-60 seconds per side. Remove from the pan and roughly shred. Set aside.

  7. FIERY RICE FEAST

    Serve up the spicy fried rice in a bowl. Garnish with the remaining spring onion and the Kimchi. Sprinkle over the nori slices and the toasted sesame seeds. Finally, top with the fried egg (if used). Now, let yourself be whisked off to East Asia!
