Umami Butter Kimchi Fried Rice

Umami Butter Kimchi Fried Rice
This isn’t your average weeknight clean-out meal. This Umami Butter Kimchi Fried Rice gets its deep, savoury flavour from a simple paste of Gochujang, butter, and our OG Papi Chilli Oil. It melts into rich Chinese sausage and tangy, roasted kimchi, turning leftover rice into the main event.
Umami Butter Kimchi Fried Rice

Ingredients

1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp Korean red chilli paste (Gochujang)
1 tbsp UmamiPapi Chilli Oil
2 sticks Chinese sausage
1 small brown onion
2 pinches salt
1 tbsp brown sugar
2 cups kimchi
2 cloves garlic
1 tsp sesame oil
300g pre-cooked rice from the night before
1 egg
1 spring onion
1 pinch sesame seeds

METHOD

  1. Prepare all the ingredients by slicing the Chinese sausage, onion, garlic and spring onion.
  2. To make the umami butter, add butter, Gochujang and UmamiPapi Chilli Oil to a bowl and mix until it becomes a paste.
  3. Bring the pan/wok to medium heat and add the Chinese sausage until it browns. Be careful not to burn them as it browns quite quickly. 
  4. Add the onions and stir fry until they brown.
  5. Add salt and brown sugar to help the onions caramelise. 
  6. Add the kimchi and allow the kimchi to roast in the wok.
  7. Add the garlic and stir fry with all the ingredients.
  8. Add the pre-cooked rice and turn the heat to high. Ensure that you use the spatula to break up any clumps of rice. 
  9. Add the umami butter, sesame oil and salt and continue to stir until all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed and the butter is fully melted.
  10. Fry an egg sunny side up in a separate pan.
  11. Transfer the rice from the wok to a serving plate and add the egg on top.
  12. Garnish with chopped spring onion and sesame seeds. Add additional UmamiPapi Chilli Oil if desired. 
  13. Enjoy!
