This easy kimchi fried rice (Kimchi Bokkeumbap) is a quick one pan dinner I make with well-aged kimchi, cold day-old rice, and a short gochujang sauce that tastes incredibly delicious. It takes only 15 minutes to have it ready on the table and turns a nearly empty fridge into a satisfying meal for my family.
