Food Time: Kimchi Fried Rice

Introducing... *drum roll*


It turned out uber yummy. My only regret: SOFT RICE. I cooked it too soft last night hence the texture was, er, soft. But other than that, it was yummy. My mother helped me with the last touch since I'm not good at making huge batches (she gets to add the sugar/spice/everything nice), and all 4 bellies at home are full of KIMCHI.

Prep time was super quick. Ready to feed the belly? Let's go!

Food Time: it's in progress...

key ingredients!

Finally some Food Making Partay. 

As I wait for the rice to cool off, I feel like blogging :)

If you knew me, I secretly wish that I'm part Korean. No not for it's K-Drama, but for its FOOD. I love Korean Food. Once upon a time, I was a vegetarian (I was a hardcore PETA supporter at the time. I was Veg for political reasons). True to the core. Until my mother invited (and invaded me) me for lunch at a Korean BBQ Restaurant. Smelling them charbroiled beef weakened the little Vegetarian in me. Seeing them in front of me was torture. Then I grabbed a slice of Korean BBQ Rib aka Kalbi and had a partay in my mouth. I still remained a Vegetarian that year (it lasted for 1 year) but I would never refused Korean BBQ.

To my Vegetarian friends out there, I'm sorry for letting you down.

Anyways, yesterday coming home from work, I felt like making this dish that I've been wanting to make for awhile ever since I had my first taste of it. Thanks to Hashigo in Costa Mesa, CA, I've been craving this for a long time. 

I'm in the process of making Kimchi Fried Rice aka Kimchi Bokkeumbap 김치 볶음밥 (yes I googled that)

Yes I cried chopping that ONE onion. Man, so painful.

I will post the recipe soon. After I eat it. Hot bowl of 김치 볶음밥.

김치 볶음밥!! 김치 볶음밥!! 김치 볶음밥!! 김치 볶음밥!! 김치 볶음밥!! ... Sorry I got too excited.
