Easy Kimchi Fried “Rice”

Kimchi is a delicious (and spicy!) Korean dish typically consisting of vegetables and seasonings such as cabbage, radish, scallions, garlic, ginger and chilli pepper.  It goes through a fermentation process which allows it to have some great health benefits.  Fermentation creates probiotics in the kimchi which help to repopulate the good bacteria in the digestive tract, leading to improved gut health.  Improved gut health can lead to a wide array of health benefits from improving constipation and irritable bowel syndrome, to boosting immunity and reducing inflammation.  Fermented foods are your friend!

If purchasing a jar of pre-made kimchi from the store instead of making your own, be sure to read the ingredients list and opt for a brand that doesn’t contain any added sugar or MSG.

If you enjoy lots of flavours, a bit of spice and super easy recipes, give this kimchi fried “rice” a try!
