It’s the perfect way to use up leftover kimchi and rice!

Start by stir-frying chopped garlic and bite-sized chicken pieces in oil until golden. Add 1 cup of chopped aged kimchi, 1 tsp sugar, 1 tsp soy sauce, and ½ tsp chili powder. Cook until fragrant and the kimchi caramelizes slightly.

Add 1½ to 2 cups of cold cooked rice and stir-fry until everything is well combined. Season with pepper, a drizzle of sesame oil, and top with a fried egg, toasted seaweed, and sesame seeds.

Crispy at the bottom, rich in umami, and finished with that signature kimchi punch—this dish is simple yet packed with flavor.
