Vegan Kimchi Fried Rice
Servings 5 people
Equipment
- large skillet / pot
- Spatulas
- clean cutting board & sharp knife
Ingredients
- ½ cup (75g) vegan kimchi see notes
- 1 tbsp gochugaru (Korean red pepper powder; for substitutes, see notes)
- 2 cups (316g) cooked white rice day old, preferred
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 3 pieces vegan sausage or hotdog links brand of choice (I use the Loma Linda Big Franks; for substitutes, see notes)
- ½ medium white onion chopped
- 3 tbsp tamari or low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tsp brown sugar
- ½ tbsp sesame oil
- ½ tbsp sesame seeds
- 2 stems green onions chopped
- 2 tbsp vegetable or canola oil for frying
- salt & pepper to taste
- strips of nori sheet for garnish or seaweed
Instructions
- Preheat your skillet or pot to medium high. Coat with vegetable or canola oil.
- Sauté onions and garlic until it is fragrant and translucent. Then, add the kimchi and toss until it is well combined. Mix in the gochugaru until ingredients are coated.
- Add the cooked rice into skillet and stir. Pour tamari (or soy sauce) and sesame oil.
- Season with brown sugar, salt, and pepper. Then add the vegan sausages / hotdogs. Mix all ingredients together until all are well combined.
- Turn off heat. Add the green onions and sesame seeds. When ready to serve, garnish with strips of nori sheets or rough pieces of seaweed.
Notes
- Trouble finding vegan kimchi in your store? You can make it at home. All you need to do is prepare 3-4 days in advance. Get the recipe here.
- If you are having troubles find gochugaru, you can substitute with gochujang (Korean red pepper paste), cayenne pepper, or regular red pepper flakes will work just fine.
- Any vegan hotdog/sausages will work. Though, if you are not comfortable with using soy "meats", you can substitute with fried tofu or tempeh - which will be just as tasty.
