better living through chili sauce

okay real talk: i'm updating this blog because i found out that steve albini has a food blog. it is called mariobatalivoice and the title is "What I made Heather for dinner." maybe i'm showing my youth but when steve albini is humanized by marriage and a food blog, i'm inspired to return to my own half-assed attempt at another blog.



Kimchi Bokumbop (Kimchi Fried Rice)
adopted from here: http://www.herbivoracious.com/2011/01/kimchi-fried-rice-kimchi-bokkeumbap-recipe.html

The link above was the first result that came up on google when i searched "kimchi fried rice." Cabbage is in season thus, kimchi is in season.

I added some cubed tofu and a cup of fresh vegetables (broccoli, carrots, celery, onion) and as i didn't have green onions, i replaced that with a thinly sliced shallot. The garlic inevitably browns and eventually burns but the rice turns a beautiful brown. When the sunny side up egg is mixed in the whole dish becomes this amazing mound of delicious spicy korean killer.



it had been over a year since i had used my wok. welcome back, wok.
