Maangchi today was my second time making kimchi bokkeumbap and it turned out absolutely delicious!!! This has become one of my favorite easy dishes. Thank you so much.
Greetings from Chile
I’m happy to hear that you like my family’s favorite kimchi bokkeumbap recipe! I feel so connected with you!
Hi Maangchi! I made your kimchi-bokkeumbap recipe for the first time and it turned out AMAZING. Spicy, delicious, and beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! I look forward to trying out many more of your recipes!

Made it with my husband! We included Spam and it was amazing. :)
How many people does this serve please?
I’m from Nebraska and have always been intimidated by Asian cooking, but your recipes make it very easy. I first made Kimchi which my American born Korean friend hadn’t even tried and it turned out perfect, then I made Kimchi fried rice with this recipe (added pork belly) and he thought it looked great, tasted great too. I thought it had just the right amount of heat for me and I would only add more eggs-they were so yummy in it!
I look forward to trying your basic rice recipe because mine needs work.
Thank you,
Matt

Hi Matt,
Your kimchi bokkeumbap looks fantastic even though you made this for the first time! Good luck with Korean cooking!
Bonjour. Moi aussi Matt j’ai un problème avec le riz de base. … riz long, riz rond, riz sushi, riz jasmin, etc…ce n’est JAMAIS le bon !!! Si vous faites une découverte prévenez moi !!
Salut. Essayez un riz de marque Nishiski ou avec le mot rose dessus. Pour cette recette, utilisez des grains courts. La plupart des recettes asiatiques utilisent des grains courts. Ajouter un peu moins d’eau au riz que les instructions sur l’emballage. Un cuiseur à riz automatique fait du très bon riz.
What is kimchi juice?
When you open up a packet or jar of Kimchi there should be juice in the bottom of the packet or jar.
I saw your kimchi hot dog video today and thought, why not? Turned out good!

Hi Maangchi! I saw in your video that you sometimes add meat to your fried rice to make it upgraded. How can I incorporate thin strips of pork belly (for shabu shabu) into my fried rice?
Made the Kimchi 1 month ago from your recipe and today made the fried rice with poached egg. Perfection! Thank you Maangchi!!!
