Who doesn’t love a good fried rice?

Today we’re making an easy and vegan kimchi fried rice. Pack full of flavor with some delicious kimchi as well as Sempio Gochujang chili paste to add some ‘smoky heat’ and spiciness to the dish.

If you don’t know what gochujang is, you’ve been missing out! Gochujang or red chili paste is a savory, sweet, and spicy fermented condiment popular in Korean cooking. It is made from gochu-garu, glutinous rice, meju powder, yeotgireum, and salt.

The sweetness comes from the starch of cooked glutinous rice when making it. It also adds a beautiful red hue to the dish it’s in!

Look how hugeeee this jar of Gochujang is! Their Sempio products are now available on Amazon if you want to try it out, here is the link: https://amzn.to/3JEBdwZ
