Korean Fried Rice
Serves: 4 Prep: 10 mins Cook: 12 mins Pair: Estate Shiraz
Ingredients
3 cups rice – cold
400g kimchi – roughly chopped
600g steak – bavette, skirt or flank
1 sheet nori
2 spring onions – sliced
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
2 tbsp oil
Sesame seeds
4 eggs
Method
- Toast the nori by waving it over the flame on the gas cooker – this takes only about 20 seconds, be careful it doesn’t set on fire. Allow to cool and then cut into matchsticks
- Cook steak on grill or in a hot pan for 3mins per side or until internal temp is 48-52c. Allow to rest for 6+ mins and slice thinly. Meanwhile, prepare the rice
- In a wok or high sided frying pan add the oil on high heat and cook the kimchi, juices and whites of the spring onion for approx. 1-2mins. Put a pan on to fry eggs
- Add cold rice, breaking it up along with soy & sesame – cook for 3-4mins or until hot throughout
- As the rice cooks, fry 4 eggs sunny side up
- Place the rice in a bowl, add steak to the side, top with a fried egg, spring onions and sesame seeds

Tips/Tricks
- When making fried rice ALWAYS used day old rice or at least rice you made that morning. Ensure rice has cooled sufficiently, store it in the fridge until ready to use and cook through before serving
- 3 cups cooked rice is the equivalent of 1 cup uncooked rice
- ALWAYS rest your steak before slicing – I find the cuts mentioned above require a little more time to rest than ribeye or sirloin
- Want to add a little extra kick to the dish? Serve with a spoon of sambal
