First Attempt making Kimchi Fried Rice!

Hi everyone! Today's recipe is going to be a little spicy, it's Korean Kimchi Fried Rice (김치볶음밥). Without further introduction, let's get into it straight away!


You will need:
(2-4 servings)

3-4 bowls of rice
3/4 bowl of kimchi
1/2 bowl of kimchi juice
2-3 tablespoon of korean red pepper paste
1-2 carrots
cooking oil
mince pork (size of your fist)
soy sauce
sugar 
corn starch
sesame oil
dried seaweed (optional)
eggs (one egg per serving)


Steps:
1. Marinate the mince pork using soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil and corn starch. Fry the pork.
2. Dice up the carrots and boil it.
3. Fry the kimchi with some cooking oil in a frying pan. This helps to store the juice within the kimchi, so when you bite into it, it's more juicy.
4. Add in the rice, and kimchi juice, carrots and the mince pork and keep frying.
5. Add in a bit of sesame oil for more fragrance.
6. On a separate frying pan, fry a sunshine egg as a decoration. You may add in some dried seaweed and spring onion as well for decoration.

Tip: if you want to create nice and round shaped egg without the use of a shaping mould, you can cut out a piece of onion and place it in the frying pan and the have your egg inside it. See picture below:
