Kimchi fried rice with pork belly is THE best!! I put a bit of gochujang and a little bit of sugar to balance out the sourness of kimchi.
Damn thats fancy
Its usually spam for me
Ditch the sugar
for me, bacon kimch fried rice is the best! prok belly souds good too
굴소스 넣어도 맛있음
as a korean i can confirm this. kimchi is the best when its cooked with pork fat!

You can stir-fry the minced pork first before stir-frying the kimchi, it will taste better.
pork + kimchi = 😇
I need to cook kimchi fried rice w spam tonight after watching this....oh man....this vid made me salivating
That’s my go to breakfast of champions there - kimchi fried rice with Spam and a fried egg on top.
I use butter in my kimchi fried rice. Try it. It’s a game changer.
as a Korean myself, me as well use butter in my kimchi fried rice sometimes. approved.

Try with margarine. I don't know if it is regional thing but I remember margarine being one of the key ingredients of Kimchi fried rice. AND SPAM for sure!
Korean kimchi fried rice tip: When cutting kimchi to the right size, use kitchen shears (scissors) to cut it into the desired size right inside the bowl. Wooden and plastic cutting boards are porous and can absorb the kimchi juice, forever altering its smell. 😀
Excellent tip!
Great TIPS! That's why the Koreans are have a two cutting boards.
You can always add protein on the kimchi fried rice
Pork belly or bacon is nice choice
you can also use some protein in kimchi fried rice as well, chopped pork, chicken, spam, or beef, or even ham.
pork belly left over from kbbq or spam

혹시 김치볶음밥 해 드실 분 있으면 전해드립니다.
꼭 돼지고기를 넣어서 드세요 훨씬 맛있습니다.
김치와 돼지고기를 같이 볶으면 풍미도 몇 배 맛있고 더 높은 단백질입니다. 꼭 추천드립니다.
돼지고기 말고도 햄, 참치, 소고기 등 다른 것을 넣어도 맛있습니다. 개인적으론 돼지고기가 진리
고기대신 스팸 넣어도 맛있어요!
왜냐면 라드 때문에 그럼

I love kimchi fried rice! I make my own kimchi from the garden and let it ferment for a month or more to get a real good funk on it. Toss in some diced pork belly in addition to the other ingredients and you've got a meal.
한국인인 저도 김치 만들기는 엄두도 잘 못내는 일인데 대단하십니다 허허
Most chefs in youtube just cook instead of understanding some of the key elements but this chef right here obviously studied and put in some effort trying to cook with some basic knowledge of each country’s dish. This man is a true chef
Nori in Korean is called Gim, thank you for your sensitivity in picking that up and wonder what it is called in Korean. Gim is actually how we pronounce Kim, which is the most common last name in Korean.
more like Kim, a korean family name "Kim"
In the historical record, A guy named Kim Yeo-Ik started cultivating the seaweeds now called Kim after his family name.
@@magmagie7425it's "gim" actually but somehow foreigners think our "g" sound like "k" and "b" sound like "p"
...so "gim" became "kim"
..."bak" became "park"...etc.
But 김(gim) and 킴(kim) are spelled differently in korea
and the word we use for family name and nori is 김(gim)...
So big thanks to mr. Andy for noticing it.
@@wintersince2016this is spot on, bravo. foreigners think it is k because of korean to roman transcription rules.
Props for frying the kimchi first...can even add a bit of sesame oil and a little butter when lightly frying the kimchi. Amazing demonstration
Normally, when I cook kimchi fried rice I either use bacon or chopped pork belly. You can try to use German continental sausage or Spanish chorizo from Aldi as well. Anything with pork goes well with kimchi. Nice video Andy.
참치캔을 넣어도 맛있어요 ㅋ
You can’t go wrong with any of the 3, but there is just something about kimchi fried rice that has a special place in my heart…..and stomach.
In case you are still wondering, seaweed in Korean is 'Gim' just like the word gim from gimbap (Seaweed Rice) from your other videos. Another great video mate!
In korean it is, but for anyone to pronounce it overseas, it can still be said as nori since Japan is still the place of the ingredient's origination. Not like Gim is different from Nori either, just softer texture and that's it. Like we don't call pasta "kuksu" or "noodles", do we
All three countries ate gim from the start but Korea is the first country ever to farm the gim. @@Anti-FreedomD.P.R.ofSouthKorea
@@Anti-FreedomD.P.R.ofSouthKorea An astoundingly wrong take on both fronts; roasted seaweed in sheets was first done in Japan in the mid-18th century, whereas the same process was done in Korea approximately at least 100 years before that. Also no, we don't call pasta "kuksu" or "noodles" nor do we call kuksu pasta, what's your argument there?
@@Anti-FreedomD.P.R.ofSouthKoreafun fact: iirc one of the most popular exported goods from korea to japan is indeed gim. So there's definitely a difference between nori and gim. Gim to my knowledge is lightly roasted seaweed sheets with some sesame oil.
@@Anti-FreedomD.P.R.ofSouthKorea Please watch the video before saying some strong opinion. In 12:59, he looks curios what the Korean word for nori.
One of the most awesome parts of kimchi fried rice is letting the rice cook.. no stirring.. and crisp up and caramelise the bottom layer. Adds texture and flavour!! The best part of the rice!!! All these rice dishes look awesome.. I luv the Japanese style garlic rice!! Just yum!! Keep going hard Mr ANdy!!
I actually like making my kimchi fried rice sometimes in a nonstick for this very reason. Let the entire bottom just crisp, then fold it in, let more fresh bottom crisp, it's almost like a kimchi fried rice hashbrown by the end and excellent
@@mkoo7000 kind of like a bibimbap when ur serverd in those clay pots and the rice underneath has crisped up! delicious
@@afscrew123 Dolsot Bibimbap.
Kimchi fried rice is always one pick. Can eat every day.
The crispy part is the best! That's what people fight over when they eat paella.
There is a reason why kimchi fried rice is so delicious. Traditionally, kimchi used in kimchi fried rice reaches the peak of lactic acid fermentation and begins to taste sour. Then, the salted fish used in making kimchi is broken down into amino acids and becomes natural MGS.
The red pepper powder in kimchi mixes with oil and turns into red pepper oil, which has the best flavor. As a final climax, the sour taste of lactic acid fermentation neutralizes the oily taste of the fried rice and suppresses the spicy taste.
That's why it's delicious.
Ah, natural Metal Gear Solid. A true prescious.
I tried kimchi fried rice once, but did not like it. This may be because I never ate kimchi fried rice growing up, so my palate was not used to the taste.
@@chiensyang김치의 신 맛에 익숙하지 않다면 충분히 그럴 수 있다 생각합니다. 김치볶음밥의 맛은 신 김치의 발효된 맛과 매운 맛에서 주로 나니까요.
@@chiensyang
In the video, you can see that both Chinese-style fried rice and Japanese-style fried rice can easily replicate the same flavor. This is because the sauce from the brand featured in the video is the key to the taste, and the flavors of vegetables are quite similar worldwide.
However, it's nearly impossible to recreate kimchi fried rice authentically. The reason is that the most crucial element in kimchi fried rice is the kimchi itself. Even within Korea, the taste of kimchi varies significantly depending on the region, type, fermentation time, and even family recipe. Additionally, kimchi made by brands from other countries often tastes very different from authentic Korean kimchi. If you use kimchi that doesn’t complement the dish or simply doesn’t taste good, then the kimchi fried rice won’t be delicious.
You gotta have a layer of charred rice on he bottom for the korean fried rice, adds another layer of texture and tastes amazing!
Folks, do yourself a favor and buy Andy's cookbook! It is great!
Are there meals in there great for meal prepping for the week?
thanks legend!
Alas as a student I can only afford cookbooks second hand. Immediately checked it out when he said free shipping (I’m in the U.K.) and I’m very sad I still won’t be getting it. One day a copy will appear on WoB…
I would but cook videos, actually. 😊 I will check out the cook book. Love Andy.
This and Vincent Price's cookbooks are what I want on my shelf
Andy as a 90's kid from America that Eminem reference you made was an instant like for this video lol.
Same here, but I think Andy was paying homage to the great Chef John from Foodwishes Dot Com. who does that exact bit all the time
😆
As an 80's kid, it was a Malcolm McLaren reference for me... Buffalo Girls... where Eminem sampled it from...
@@jameschoi900570s kid agrees
I just got to that part as I read it lol.
Andy knowing the drama behind chilli crunch and David Chang made my day.
What’s the drama?
@@PassiveAgressive319 he tried to trademark the name "Chili Crunch"
That's like trying to copyright brown mustard
So funny! But David finally backed down I believe so he can say it now 😂
Aaaand turned out his restaurant’s name is in trademark violation against the Japanese guy who invented the first cup of instant ramen… karma guys
This was a great watch. I grew up on Cantonese and Japanese style (I'm biracially Japanese and Filipino, and I grew up in a town in New Jersey with a large Chinese population). Korean style is new to me, but probably my favorite now too.
BTW, "nori" is Japanese. The Korean version is called "gim."
HAWAIIAN!!! Spam and pineapple fried and added to onion, peas, carrots, bean sprouts, green onions, egg, MAGGI sauce, fried rice!!! Bomb
Surprisingly, there is pineapple fried rice in Thailand.
as an asian kid who grew up eating all three types of fried rice you showcased, thank you for informing people there are different ways to make fried rice!
But the absolute best fried rice is the whichever one I'm eating right now.
As an Asian, guy, we never put a corn in fried rice. It might be interesting but I'm not a fan of dessert.
@@chanonwisanmongkol2254 you put corn in dessert?
@@AdamFloro YES, corn, coconut, taro, etc.
@@AdamFloro Yes. Corn is dessert.
12:58 Nori is the Japanese word, and Koreans call it “gim”. Great job, Andy! You deserve Uncle status for sure. Manseh!! (Korean for fuiyoh / hooray!)
To help some folks out, phonetically it’s pronounced “gh-eem”
만세!!🇰🇷
Thank you for correcting Andy and the viewers.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
@@Daniel-kl7sj Also, it is has the same spelling as the Korean last name Kim. So Kim Jong Un and Kim Kardashian are Nori Jung Un and Nori Kardashian.

I love all 3 versions but of course growing up in a Korean household…kimchi bokkeumbap has my heart! My mom used to make it with pork belly (or bacon) like in your Japanese rice here. Try it next time, so delicious!
Kimchi fried rice ❤. I love when Korea fried rice is crisped on the bottom. So good!
A chef that I can relate too! And his enthusiasm for lesser known foreign cuisine, esp Korean, is genuine. Thoroughly enjoy his snappy videos. What a legend!
One of the few times I saw someone fry the kimchi first before adding to the fried rice. Critical step for both flavor (roasted kimchi is amazing) and texture (gets excess liquid out)
you mean most people who do this on the internet put the kimchi and rice in together??
Yep. Tragedy. Haha
김치랑 돼지고기를 같이 볶으면 훨씬 맛있다
Korean have so many style of Kimchi fried rice.
This style is very normal and standard.😢
영상처럼 김치를먼저볶는게 일반적임~밥과 김치를 같이볶으면 밥이 질어지고 생김치의 맛이 더많이남~그냥 기름보단 돼지고기와 김치를 같이볶아주다 밥을넣어주는게 젤 맛이있음!!
The interesting thing is that for us Chinese folk, fried rice is almost always considered a full meal. It's our favourite way of cooking leftovers. So while there are specific dishes like Yang Zhou fried rice, Hokkien fried rice, or even just the typical Chinese takeaway fried rice, for us it is made differently every time depending on what's left in the fridge from yesterday's dinner. My personal favourites are Char Siu or Lap Cheong egg fried rice with a hint of chili oil.
Fried rice with an egg is a great breakfast choice.
I did just this for lunch the other day, used up leftover Char siu in Fried rice. However, what I do have is either lap cheong, Smokey bacon or Frankfurters as the "seasoner" to give it that salty umami hit 😋
I am from the Northeast part of China, and fried rice is not likely being considered as a full meal based on where I came from. But I would say the fried rice is being considered as a full meal in lots of other regions.
@@jasonyau1536 I know right? All types of salted or processed meats work great in fried rice!
@@yangerlang9040 korean fried rice is also popular in NE china. The Korean (or korean Chinese?) food there is sweeter than Korean food in Korea. They put more sugar in kimchi fried rice, kimchi and cold noodles.
Im seeing this a little late, but I still wanna say - Good on ya, Andy. Covering the shipping for that weekend was such a generous and kind thing to do. You're a man of the people and I think it really shows your appreciation for your subscribers and fans. Way to go, my man.
"Nori" is "Kim" in Korean;
while Kim of "Kimchi" means "soaked" or "fermented,"
"Kim" is just Kim. came from the inventor's name around 17s century.
btw your Kimchi Rice looks great!
Such texture. I can imagine that sweet-soury heaven in my mouth already! Thank you for the video.
+Maybe you could try Ssamjang next time. It hits quite different.
I think 'Gim' is a little bit closer to Korean pronunciation.
@@ladwenjang That is a bit too mild.
Somewhere between them, I suppose
i'm not a fan of kimchi, but man you made that last fried rice look so good, i'd eat it. it's color, the garnish, the fluff and the saucy crackle, egg, plating. that's fried rice level 100. all three look good of course, but the kimchi one surprised me because i don't like it but now i want that fried rice the most. blew my stomach lmaoooo
uncle Andy, the legend. fuiyyooh
I think there’s a big difference in taste if you eat just plain kimchi (as banchan), or fried/cooked in a dish like this (or kimchi jjigae, kimchijeon, creamy kimchi pasta, or even in gimbap or ssam)
@@andrecanis4894 probably. as most things that get cooked end up with a different taste. i don't like Kimchi as a topping, a side or straight up like that.
pasta sounds next level so does the kimchijeon, it looks perfect and i'd give it a try.
Hey, note about cooking with freshly done rice. You can totally do it, I've done it, it's talked about in "The Wok" from Kenji Lopez. In my experience as soon as the rice is done cooking you need to dump it out onto a tray straight away so a lot of that moisture steams off in the first couple of minutes.
It sticks way less. Day old rice works better though, no question about it.
Yep. Been doing it like that with good result.
Just boil an hour before using it.
On a tray with some parchment paper and break it up and toss it about a few times, in the first 20 minutes.
When it is cold, it is old enough.
Day old works better.
'Frech' tastes better.
Korean fried rice actually kinda needs the ‘stuck to the pan burnt fried rice’ flavor
Its pretty essential actually.
Told myself I'd skip to the end for your verdict... but you're so enjoyable to listen to that I watched the whole video! Unscripted, a little scattered and very genuine commentary as you cook! Fun stuff and thank you!
Me too actually. I clicked with every intent to skip most of it but I didn't end up doing that. That's how you know its a good video

cook the rice, open the lid, fluff the rice, repeat the open and fluff 1-2 more times

Like I watch other chefs and I either fast forward or skip to the next.
But Andy just keeps making sure it’s simple cooking with simple instructions.
Thanks a lot brother 👊🏽
Thai fried rice is my favorite. It's such a light, sweet flavor, served with fresh lemon on top. Delicious! I need to try Japanese fried rice rice though. That looks amazing!
I actually don't like Thai fried rice as much...I used to live there for years and I always had issues with adding tomatoes to it (and too much sugar in the area I was living in at the time). Just a preference of course!
I agree. Chinese fried rice is too bland. Thai is the best. Second best is mine made from leftovers.
중국식 : 맛있다. 하지만 심심한 맛. 뭔가 곁들여 먹을 무언가가 필요하다.
일본식 : 삽겹살이 맛있다.
한국식 : 나는 흐르는 달걀 노른자를 좋아한다. (한입 먹어본 후) 승부는 끝난다. 최고의 점심중 하나며, 맛과 비주얼 모두 훌륭하다.
Chinese style: delicious. But it tastes boring. You need something to eat with it.
Japanese style: Pork belly is delicious.
Korean style: I like runny egg yolks. (After taking a bite) The battle is over. It's one of the best lunches, and both the taste and appearance are great.
Andy, I always watched your videos with happiness, and joy. Korean Kimchi Fried rice(김치볶음밥) looked great, and very luxurious, cause most Kimchi Fried Rice(you might already know) is very humble and non-formal food and mostly raised Mom's touch. Always thank you for your marvelous cooking and the the foods I've watched.
In korea. Usually kimchi fried rice is dessert of korean barbecue on the stone pan.
We usually frying it with left pieces of meat and the grease from the pork fat. Ofcourse we also eat homemade or fastfood style kimchi fried rice like you made. But I hope you try the dessert version.
Kimchi fried rice!! Great recipe❤
Andy, I absolutely love your reference to chef John with your “around the outside, around the outside”!!
I thought it was an Eminem Reference
I'm korean and I have never heard of putting gochujang in kimchi fried rice in my life.
Kimchi fried rice usually tastes light, while using gochujang gives little bit of heavy flavor and sweetness.
But there is no absolute rules for every recipe.
I will definitely try Andy's style.
Thank you for your recipe!
I'm Korean and there are times when I feel like the kimchi doesn't have enough flavor I put a tiny bit of gochujang or I have homemade soondubu paste that I add just a small tablespoon of when making it and it's soooo gooooood. You should try it :))))

Fired rice of almost every type is delicious. Thai fried rice is also amazing. The Malaysian one is awesome as well. Using lard instead of other oil is always a better choice, especially for the Kimchi fried rice. Thank you very much for your wonderful presentation of world food!
I subscribed, cause Andy told me so. Mighty Andy best!

Third-generation Japanese Canadian here! My absolute favourite “secret ingredient” for homemade fried rice is a liiiiittle bit of Heinz ketchup, and no I’m not joking. It’s seriously UNREAL how much approachable complexity it adds to the final flavour profile.

Correct, no chili on traditional Cantonese fried rice because Cantonese people used to be highly "allergic" to chili. In fact traditionally the cuisine, is more on the blander side not as bland as some other cuisines because it's still quite flavorful. But lot's of dishes don't much spice. The standard seasoning salt, sugar, white pepper (depends on family), soya sauce (light and sometimes dark), and fermented bean pastes.
But depending on the dish, spices are use generously, like roast pork belly. If you hear Cantonese people boasts about retaining original taste, because spices are not used often including chilies. But ginger is the god spice in Cantonese cooking. Uncle Roger's fried rice is the Malaysian Chinese style which does come from the Cantonese style but it's Southeast Asia so chilies are inevitable.
So, what I meant by allergic to chilies. It's because of the concept of yeethai or hot air. Eat to much food that gives you hot air, you become sick. There is also cold air, same thing happens but with cold foods. Chilies are by far the number 1 enemy because it's spicy gives heat to your body. If you grew up with Canto parents you will hear them yelling "YEETHAI AH!" It's a complicated mess some foods you don't expect to have hot air has hot air an example, chocolate. So you will even see some families don't even use white pepper.
I have a Cantonese mom and this person is right. Cantonese food is originally quite bland actually.
Just grabbed the cookbook, thank you for the free delivery! ❤
Andy, your Egg Fried Rice changed my life since you drop a short. So tasty. Can’t stop having it. Your videos are so so good. Teaching me massively! Thank you! ❤️
All amazing...if I could choose one, it'd have to be Korean kimchi fried rice as well. Note: I like mine with bacon or pork belly pieces (the same that you put in the Japanese fried rice) as it does up the flavor profie. AMAZING video...simple and really well done!!
Watching you whisk the eggs with chop sticks made it the real deal.
Bravo good sir!
I recommend a large spoon for frying rice, it will be very powerful and easy to stir-fry
For freshly cooked rice, you can add an egg yolk into the rice and mix it well. It keeps rice from sticking together
Can you elaborate a bit a on this? I heard this recently for the first time, supposedly magic
@@benj0Im assuming the fat from the egg yolk keeps the rice starch from sticking together, similar to how a little oil can keep cooked pasta from sticking together
@@benj0 Separate egg yolk from white. You will need a few depending on how much rice is cooked. For me, 6 egg yolks for 4 portions of rice. Mix into rice (make sure rice is at room temperature and not hot out of the cooker or it will cook the yolk). This will form a coat which you then wok fry the rice as per usual. You will end up with golden egg fried rice!
Thats called golden fried rice.
Just let cooked rice cool down for an hour and break apart lumps without breaking grains, it’s not hard
Depends on where you are in the world of course but here in Germany getting some actual Gojujang was a much bigger problem than acquiring Kimchi... I just made it myself, but you can also buy this as a "healthy trend food". It often isn't fermented then, though, just kinda pickled.
I'll try that Kimchi fried rice though, sounds delicious and I love spicy food!
wow! you made Gochujang yourself? that's awesome!
@@babooticable No, it was Kimchi that I made myself. My sentence was a bit unclear though, I have to admit. ;-)
Well, adding Gochujang in fried rice is kinda rare thing in Korea.
Tbh, Gochujang to Kimchi fried rice is a big no to me. I only use soy sauce and Gochugaru (Red pepper powder) to make the color red.
i feel like liking this video for another 10 times. Its just too good and detail enough. Absolutely flawless
Japanese style no garlic or added salt..looks great!
Another great video Andy! I always look forward to your uploads. Thanks for shouting the postage, your cook book has been ordered.

Here from. Alaska USA. I'm half korean we call nori, Kim.
I knew about the korean and cantonese but had no idea how good the japanese fried rice looks like. I'm making it this weekend uncle Andy.
I'm Korean, but Chinese Yangzhou fried rice is the best. It's incredibly delicious with simple ingredients like eggs and green onions. Of course, I know that one of the secrets is adding a lot of MSG.
As a korean here are some final tips for the fried rice:
1. use a scissor to cut the nori
2. use salted und roasted nori, it's called "gim" (김)
3. the fried rice should be roasted on a pan to finish. there has to be a sticky, roasted, almost brown/black bottom.
that's how korean cook and enjoy a common fired rice 👍
actually, nori is gim(kim) in korean, whether it’s roasted or not.
yes and don't use jasmine rice lol

Korean flavors seem to vibe very well with chefs and people who cook for a living, because the flavors are very strong and bold and cuts through palette fatigue. Dishes with milder flavors are still delicious and may be the favorite of someone who doesn't taste things all day every day, but for a lot of cooks, they need that punch of spice/acid/fermentation Korean foods seem to have.
palette fatigue... so that's why foods taste better after a break? lmao. TIL.
@@tony2shanks Pretty much. I used to be a line cook and I was constantly tasting things all day, palette fatigue hit me pretty hard and eventually everything I ate in my off days I had to add a ton of salt or drench in hot sauce.
Yeah, Fried kimchi with fried rice is like da Perfect match. I can tell you that.
I'm always ridiculously excited to watch Andy cook, and realise l already have all the ingredients l need. Korean fried rice tomorrow.😊 Also, l have a round bottom wok and gas burners. l use the X shaped cradle that the espresso pot (moka) rests on, on the wok burner to stabilise it.

Yep, it was a marketing fuck up that one
Of course it was David Chang... 🤡
His brand name is not only massively impacted by this but he also being threatened to be sued by the Japanese netizens because he used the trademark name of Momofuku Ando without permission.

Waited 14mins to hear that my favourite fried rice wins 🎉🎉🥳 enjoyed this video,
I'm Korean and love kimchi fried rice. My personal preference is without gochujang since it tastes lighter, tangier and fresh. With gochujang it tends to get a bit 텁텁해(don't know how to explain this in English)
A lot of the times we add ham, spam, pork belly, canned tuna or other proteins to the fry.
Btw Korean nori is called gim or kim(김). Same pronunciation as in kim-chi or the last name Kim. 😉
텁텁해 might be translated best as 'crumbly in fine' or 'dusty', because of flour in Gochujang.

김볶밥은 밥 킴취 챔기름 김 정도만 넣고 맹글어도 맛있음
이런 콘텐츠는 외국인도 보는 댓글인데 단어를 좀 똑바로 쓰면 안되나요?
There used to be a Chinese restaurant near me that did make fried rice that's was a meal because it had BBQ pork, shrimp and chicken in it. It was delicious, still miss that place 20 years later.
Did I heard "wok hei"(Smell of food aroma from the hot wok) ? As Cantonese, it's the first time I saw it is interpretate as the "charred spots" for Cantonese food. What a good visualization way for introducing Cantonese cooking!
김치볶음밥에 고추장은 첨 보네요 ^^ 저도 한번 해봐야겠네요
그냥 고춧가루 살짝 넣어도 맛있음 ㅎㅎㅎ
베이컨과 버터로 해도 맛있고요! (참기름과 식용유가 없다면 버터로 김치 볶아서 해 보세요 김치랑 버터가 아주 잘 어울립니다 ) 그리고, 꼭 김치국물을 넣어야 하는건 아니에요 ㅎㅎㅎ 너무 눅눅해지는게 싫어서 저는 김치국물 거의 안넣어요 김치만으로 충분합니다 ^^
그리고 가능하면 조미된 김이 훨씬 좋아요 왜냐면 모자란 간을 조미김이 해주거든요
I'm Korean, we don't use red pepper paste on kimchi fried rice. And you'd better bake blackpaper(=Gim) slightly then just crush it by hands
고추장 해보세요 맛있습니다
Love your work Andy
Much appreciated!
There is no such thing as too much garlic. I'm gonna try making the Japanese rice cause that looks amazing. The kimchi fried rice is always a hit can't go wrong.
a general rule of thumb for chinese cooking (and perhaps other asian or even western cooking), you put stuff with aroma and spice into the wok/pan first, like shallot/spring onion/garlic etc. if you put unseasoned main ingrediants in first like you did in this video, they won't have as much flavour penetration no matter how much you season them afterwards.
I agree. I watch a Channel called Aaron and Claire, check it out if you don't know it, and Aaron has taught me what you're saying. I now start off any fried rice with a decent amount of oil that you season with the spring onion whites and (in my case), a touch of garlic. It goes so fast too, but the rest of your dish is then seasoned with an oil that has garlic and onion flavours throughout it and it is a game changer.
@Ballacha I cook on electric which slow to get hot but also to cool down. How do I prevent the aromatics from burning and the garlic getting bitter while still having enough heat to cook the rest of the dish?
@@randysem completely remove the pot from the heat source between adding ingredients and rather keep it at a medium high heat so you don't waste too much time
@@spill1t Thanks!
Some ingredients that can always give a boost to your fried rice game up a bit: Oyster Sauce, Ginger, and even Sesame oil added when finishing. Those can also be used to add to any instant ramen.
12:27 No...... No. Korean cuisines NEVER contain jasmine rice. Short grain rice is mandatory. Jasmine rice in Kimchi fried rice is "Fusion Cuisine"!
Great content. For Korean version, it’s best to use an old kimchi that’s sour. Also, seaweed (kim) needs to be seasoned with sesame old and salt and roasted in the stove for a little.
you're right, I've been watching you for a solid month and love your videos, yet never subscribed. I did just now. Thank you for your excellent cooking!
Just saw this video and you did a great job on the Korean dish. However, as a native Korean, I'd like to say that Korean dishes won't be complete without loads of garlic. You could add 5,6 garlics and slice it to really taste what Koreans usually eat😀
Dried seaweed is called '김' , gim in Korean and Yup! It's also in the '김밥' , gimbap! Gimbap straughtly means dried seaweed and rice tbh.
I think Kim is a better translation than gim
@@Isiod Korean pronounced Gim.No K sounds. G as "g"reat "Gim"
Koreans pronounce ㄱ like a gentle "k" at the start of a sentence/speech, or when sounding out syllables. Otherwise ㄱ is pronounced like a "g". Due to this unique behaviour it's not possible to convert it precisely into Roman (abc) letters. Both are fine I think, but g is used in the standardized Romanisation which helps to separate it from ㅋ which always sounds like a hard "k", and is romanised as "k".
안녕!
My last name is Kemp. When I was stationed in Korea, my nickname was Kempap.
Looks delicious.
man ususally watch you in short but when with calm vibe plus this video long. It really do be like solid tv show cooking channel. ITS REALLY GOOD
In the Cantonese version I would use diced lap cheong, Chinese sausage for
the meat source.
I would also drizzle a little sesame oil on top just before serving.
I bought a wok on Temu. My house almost burned down.
hahahahaha also don't forget that the Chinese gov is monitoring ya 😂
😮😂🤣
@@TomTom-ru8tx I take it back, everything is great! One China!
