Kimchi Fried Rice

bowls / mains / gluten free / dairy free / meat free / quick meals

A fried rice bowl made it just 15 minutes loaded with kimchi, onions, bell peppers, spinach, sesame, eggs, and of course sriracha!

Kimchi fried rice is one of my favorite dishes to make if I need to make dinner with almost no time to spare. It requires only chopping up veggies and frying it all up in one pan. I love adding kimchi to fried rice to give it a richer flavor. You can add meat to this dish if you want, but I usually end up not needing it since it is packed with veggies and eggs!
