This kimchi fried rice is delicious and so easy! This transpired when we saw an interesting idea on another vegan influencers page. They made waffles with rice and kimchi! We thought this was such a cool idea, so we wanted to play around with those flavours as well! We came up with kimchi fried rice. These flavours worked so well together and we also put in crumbled tofu for some added protein! The spicy mayo on top of everything was so good, it was the perfect mix of flavours.
Kimchi is so beneficial for gut health. It contains healthy bacteria and probiotics which helps boost your immunity. It’s also said to lower cholesterol levels! We feel even better adding it to recipes knowing it’s so great for our health. This recipe is super easy to make and saves great for future lunches or snacks. We hope you find it as delicious as we did!
