Gomo Kimchi Fried Rice

Ingredients: 

• Your choice of protein (e.g. chicken, fish, tofu) 
• 1 tbsp veggie oil 
• 125g sliced onion  
• ½ tin of diced spam 
• 250g Gomo Kimchi  
• 1 tbsp butter 
•  2 bowls cooked white rice  
• 2 tbsp sesame oil 
• 2 tbsp soy sauce 
• 1 tbsp minced garlic  
• Green onion 
• 1 egg 
• 1 tsp monosodium glutamate (msg) (optional)

Directions: 

1. Fry (medium to high heat) your choice of protein in 1 tbsp of veggie oil until browned.   (We use ½ tin diced spam or a handful of mushrooms).  Season lightly with soy sauce and pepper.
2. Add 125g of sliced onion (cutting it lengthwise from the root end to the stem end) and fry (high heat) for 1 min.
3. Add 250g of Gomo Kimchi, drained and chopped (save the juice!), and fry until kimchi begins turning translucent.
4. Add 1 tbsp of butter.
5. Add two large bowls of cooked white rice (day old is ideal, but fresh rice will work if you let it sit for about half an hour). Mix thoroughly with 2 tbsp of sesame oil, 2 tbsp of soy sauce and 1 tbsp of minced garlic.  Turn heat down to medium high heat.
6. Add 1/4 cup of Gomo Kimchi juice and mix thoroughly.
7. Add sliced green onions and mix.
8. Pack fried rice tightly in pan and let sit on medium heat until a crust forms at the bottom.  

Optional:  

• Serve with fried egg on top. 
• Season oil at the beginning with the green onion ends (remove after seasoning).  
• Add 1 tsp of msg during step 4.
