Kimchi Fried Rice Recipe

Last week, I made Napa Cabbage Kimchi and also tried some of Korean dishes like Kimchi fried rice (Kimchi BokkEumBap), Kimchi kimbap and Kimchi pancakes. Those were simply awesome. Today I am sharing the recipe of Kimchi fried rice which I tried from Aeri's Kitchen. It is so easy and quick to make. If you have some leftover rice, then this recipe is wonderful to dress it up.
