- ○2-3 cupsrice(day-old, cold)
pantry staple
- ○1-2 tbspgochujang(according to taste)
- ○3 tspsesame oil
other
- ✓sesame seed(optional)
Instructions
- Fry garlic until fragrant, add onions and jalapeño and let it sweat a little (~2 mins).
- Add kimchi and saute until softened (2-3 mins). Add gochujang and mix until homogenous.
- Add cold rice and break it up thoroughly. Drizzle in kimchi juice.
- Saute and toss frequently for 5 mins. Adding sesame oil and a handful of chopped green onion at the last minute (you want your rice to be a little more dry than usual - for waffling).
- Let it cool or stick it in the fridge for a while (skipping this step is fine but waffles are more to fall apart).
- Preheat waffle machine. I don't have fancy one so it is all 1 heat setting. Stuff the machine with more kimchi fried rice waffle 'batter' than usual. You will squish it all down and the outside will crisp up. I kept it in my waffle maker for 3-4 minutes.
- Enjoy with a fried egg on top!
