Treat your ingredients with care...
- Kimchi — If you prefer a milder flavor, rinse the kimchi before chopping it. Adjust the amount of kimchi according to your taste preference.
- Gochujang — Adjust the amount of gochujang based on your desired level of spiciness. Add more for extra heat or reduce for a milder version.
- Rice — It's best to use leftover rice that has been refrigerated overnight as it will have a firmer texture, making it easier to stir-fry.
Tips & Tricks
- For added flavor, you can include other vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms.
- If you prefer a non-vegetarian version, you can add cooked chicken, beef, or shrimp to the fried rice.
- To make it more authentic, serve the Korean-style Nasi Goreng with a side of Korean pickled vegetables (banchan).
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a pan or microwave before serving.
Serving advice
Serve the Korean-style Nasi Goreng hot as a main dish. Garnish with additional sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for an extra touch of flavor and presentation.
Presentation advice
For an appealing presentation, consider serving the Korean-style Nasi Goreng in individual bowls or on a large platter. Arrange some kimchi on the side and garnish with fresh cilantro leaves for a pop of color.
