KIMCHI FRIED RICE

This dish went live on KIMCHI CHRONICLES TV.  A food cooking show that talks all about KOREAN FOODS.  So love the show that every episode I want to taste all their recipes.  The taste that makes me crave and determine to be with them while they're cooking and eating at the same time.

KOREAN RESTAURANT here in the Philippines gains popularity with the local community. So why not try it at home, so I am sharing this recipe with you.

Featured on Episode 2 – The Rice Chronicles

Serves 4

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
• 1 1/2 cups finely chopped onion
• Pinch of coarse salt
• 2 cups sour kimchi, coarsely chopped, plus 1/4 cup kimchi juice
• 4 cups day-old cooked rice, at room temperature

Directions:

Heat the sesame oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and salt. Cook, stirring now and then, until beginning to soften and brown, about 3 minutes. Add the kimchi and cook for 1 minute to combine nicely with the onion. Add the rice and stir thoroughly to combine. Cook until the rice is warmed through and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Serve hot.

Notes from the author of KIMCHI CHRONICLES:
This recipe couldn't be simpler. It’s one of the best ways to use leftover rice—something I often seem to have a lot of—and its success is actually based on the dryness of day-old rice which browns and crisps much better than fresh, soft rice. One of my most guilty, happiest pleasures is to make this late at night (usually after a lot of karaoke) and eat it with cheese (slices of American melted into it, if you must know).

KIMCHI FRIED RICE or Kimchi Bokkeumbap is a popular dish in South Korea. It is made primarily with KIMCHI and a RICE, along with other ingredients like diced vegetables, pork, beef or sea foods.  But PORK and SPAM are the most common.  And sometimes they served it with fried egg on top of the dish.     

PATATAS(Potato) OMELETTE

After Spaghetti Omelette I encounter again another kind of omelette recipe that I'm sure you're going to love it.

PATATAS OMELETTE or also known as SPANISH OMELETTE.  If you are a bit lazy or you're from a busy work and you are tired, this is the recipe that you can cook quickly.  As easy as 1-2-3.

INGREDIENTS:

• 3 medium sized potatoes
• 1 onion (optional)
• 3 eggs
• oil(I used olive oil here, it is more tastiest)
• salt

PROCEDURES:

1. Peel the onion and potatoes.
2. Cut the onions into small and thin pieces.
3. Slice potatoes thinly. Add seasoning here
4. Fry the onions and potatoes in a medium heat until it turns slightly brown. Keep on stirring until the flavors will start to mix.
5. After it mix together, remove the pan from the heat and drain the oil.
6. In a bowl, beat the eggs together with the potatoes and onions.
7. Then heat the pan again.  Add oil and add the contain of the bowl to the frying pan. Now cook your mixture to a high heat until the eggs begin to solidify(about 30-50 seconds).  Then low heat until it's done.
8. Turn the PATATAS OMELETTE over and continue cooking on low heat and make sure both sides turn into brown.  This recipe intended for four serving.  You can serve it either hot or cold.

You can add hot dogs, bacon or anything you like as long it can be eaten.  

Happy Eating!!!
