Oh, Korean-inspired kimchi fried rice, a flavorful twist on a classic! Though recipes may vary, I think the key is using aged kimchi for that tangy punch and incorporating gochujang for an extra kick of spice. Adding in veggies like carrots, peas, and green onions can also add color and texture to this delicious dish!
