Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked brown rice
  • 1 cup kimchi, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 stalks green onions, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium carrot, grated
  • 0.5 cup frozen peas
  • 2 pieces egg whites
  • 0 as needed cooking spray
  • 0 as garnish seaweed strips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare all ingredients by chopping the kimchi, slicing green onions, mincing garlic, and grating the carrot.

Step 2

In a large non-stick skillet, spray a light layer of cooking spray and heat it over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and saute for 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring constantly.

Step 4

Add the chopped kimchi and cook for about 2 minutes, allowing it to slightly caramelize and release its juices.

Step 5

Push the kimchi to the side of the skillet and pour the beaten egg whites into the cleared space, scrambling them lightly until they are just cooked through.

Step 6

Stir in the grated carrot and frozen peas, cooking for another 2 minutes until the vegetables are just tender.

Step 7

Add the cooked brown rice to the skillet, mixing it thoroughly with the kimchi, vegetables, and egg whites.

Step 8

Drizzle the soy sauce and sesame oil evenly over the rice mixture and stir well to ensure even coating and flavor distribution.

Step 9

Reduce heat to low and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is heated through.

Step 10

Sprinkle the sliced green onions over the fried rice before serving. Optionally, garnish with seaweed strips for added texture and taste.
