Happy new year everyone! I hope you all have a great year and I hope that you are staying safe and healthy. I wish I could tell you that I will be sharing healthy recipes with you, but uhhhh that’s not really me, ya know? Hahahahah. But I will try….

I’m sure you have all made some kind of fried rice in your time, right? I know I have. Now, I almost always put scrambled egg in my fried rice. But as I’m sure most people do, I scramble the egg first, cook it and then add it to the rice.

I recently saw an episode on You Tube, of Aaron and Claire making fried rice and I was so curious. By the way, if you haven’t watched them, you just have to. They are husband and wife, live in Korea and they are big time foodies. I wanna be friends with them 🙂 They go to many restaurants and record their experience. He, Aaron, loves to cook. So he cooks and Claire eats. I want to make everything he makes!

So, anyway, he made this rice and I knew I just had to make it. He took the cool rice and mixed in 2 raw eggs, coating the rice completely. So it was like a soupy, wet rice. I was like “HOLY CRAP! Whaaaaaatttttt?” Then he fried it. Can you believe that!? What an interesting technique. Maybe some of you have seen this before, but I have not and I was so intrigued.

So I made it. I only put one egg though. I will try it with 2 next time. I also did it the way he did it….I added chopped kimchee, which is a Korean spicy pickled cabbage. You can find it at any Asian market and even in your local grocery stores now. But if you aren’t a fan of kimchee, the rice will still be yummy without it.

Here’s what I did:

For one hungry person (me)
1 1/2 – 2 cups cold leftover rice (not freshly made hot rice)
2 eggs
2 green onions, sliced
1 Tblsp soy sauce
some minced ham (you can use bacon, chicken, shrimp, beef) Leftover steak is the best
approx 1/4 cup chopped kimchee plus 1 Tblsp of the kimchee juice (kimchee is optional)

In a skillet, fry the green onions with a bit of oil until the onions are soft. This gives the oil a nice onion flavor.

In a bowl, mix your rice with the raw eggs. It will look wet and soupy.
Pour that rice/egg mixture into the skillet with the green onions. Give it few tosses and the egg will cook on the rice. When the rice is no longer wet, add the ham, soy sauce and kimchee.

Sprinkle some green onions on top to make it purty. Yum.

Note: If you dont like kimchee, you can add bean sprouts, snow peas, carrots, bok choy.
