Cooking Method
Garnish your kimchi rice with sesame oil, shredded nori, and scallions before serving it for a restaurant-worthy finish. Since this version only features the essentials, it’s the perfect base to build on. Go wild with mix-ins and toppings! Do you have leftover samgyupsal from Korean barbecue night? Cut it into bite-sized pieces and add them to your rice! If you love anything cheesy, sprinkle some mozzarella on top while the dish is still hot for an ooey-gooey bite. Cheese helps balance the spiciness of the kimchi – that’s why Koreans add it to everything!
