Ingredients
Instructions
- Prepare the Tofu: Press the tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut it into cubes. In a skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat and fry the tofu until golden brown and crispy on all sides. Remove and set aside.
- Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add sesame oil. Sauté the diced carrots and bell pepper until they soften, about 3-4 minutes. Then, add the chopped kimchi and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Add Rice and Seasoning: Stir in the cooked rice, soy sauce, and gochujang, mixing well until everything is combined and heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Combine Tofu: Gently fold in the crispy tofu and chopped green onions. Cook for another minute to heat through.
- Serve: Spoon the kimchi fried rice into bowls, sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired, and enjoy hot!
