Flavorful Dish Made with Leftover Rice
Kimchi fried rice is an easy and delicious way to use up leftover rice.
When I’m making rice, I intentionally make more than we need for the meal.
That way I’ve got leftovers to use the next day.
Kimchi fermented vegetables are often made with fish sauce and shrimp.
For those of us who are vegetarians and vegans, there are plenty of options.
If you’re shopping at a natural grocery store, there will probably be jars of kimchi that are clearly labeled as vegan kimchi.
When I shop at my favorite Korean grocery store, I just need to read the ingredient lists until I find a variety that looks good and doesn’t contain fish products.
I like the slightly sweet taste of coconut oil with this recipe, but another type of oil can be substituted.
If you are looking to add protein to this dish, you can top it with a fried egg or tofu.

I used Planet Rice Sprouted California Blonde Rice.
It’s just as easy to cook in my rice cooker as other types of rice, but has added nutrients since it’s sprouted.
The flavor and texture are great and it’s Non-GMO Project Verified and gluten-free.
