  1. Kimchi is Chinese?
    Cooking the egg first
    Not using a wok?
    Who made this? Jamie Oliver?

    Haiyaa

  2. They’re cooking in sesame oil? I thought it had too low a smoke point to cook well with. Am I mistaken?

    There’s some amateur things at play. Things I’d do differently:

    1. Sesame oil is added at the end lightly for flavor, not as cooking oil.
    2. Batch cook the veggies together, get a little color on the onions and kimchi.
    3. Brown the meat a little more!
    4. Combine everything then push it all to the middle, get that sucker hot and add your soy sauce around the edge of the pan to get it sizzling. Adds a little caramelized flavor to the rice.
    5. It’s kimchi fried rice! Add some of the kimchi brine like you would the soy sauce!
