This kimchi rice recipe is the 1-pan version of kimchi fried rice that doesn't require cooled rice. It's quick and easy, made with just 6 ingredients and ready in 15 minutes.
Chop: Slice the green onions and save the dark green parts for later. Finely chop the kimchi.
Sauté: Heat a large frying pan with the toasted sesame oil. Sauté the white and light green parts of the scallions for 2 minutes over medium-high heat. Add in the kimchi and sauté for another 2 minutes.
Fry the rice: Add the jasmine rice, tamari, and sugar to the pan. Sauté for 2 minutes over medium heat for the rice to absorb all the flavors.
Simmer: Pour in the water and cover with a lid. Let it simmer for 15 minutes until the water has completely been absorbed.
Nori: Cut the nori sheets lengthwise into long strips. Then, cut the strips into smaller pieces.
Serving: Top the fried rice with sesame seeds and the green parts of the scallions. Use the nori strips to pinch the rice with chopsticks or sprinkle nori flakes on top.
