My kimchi fried rice is a comforting bowl of spicy rice and veg and it packs a flavour and texture punch – soft fried rice, crispy stir-fried veg, tangy kimchi and topped with soft โ€˜omeletteโ€™.ย A delight.

Itโ€™s also a brilliant way of using up leftover rice and you can throw in any veg you have to hand.

Kimchi is powerful stuff, a slightly acquired taste, and delicious! It is fermented, so contains probiotics and good bacteria that support a good gut keeping our immune system in check. It is utterly delicious served as a condiment, in my kimchi fried rice recipe, in an omelette or added to a broth to give a savoury kick.

This is shop bought Kimchi – but I have a lovely recipe for cauliflower kimchi in my first book โ€˜Rebel Recipesโ€™ – which uses a little hijiki seaweed instead of fish sauce to give the kimchi a taste of the sea.

I hope you love my kimchi fried rice recipe – itโ€™s one of my go-to dishes when I need a spicy health boost.

Much love, Niki xxx
