I love kimchi. I love to pair it with fried fish or meat. I love it cold or mix with my fried rice. I love its subtle spiciness and tanginess.
This morning I woke very early. I think its sign of aging. I decided to cook my breakfast and thought of kimchi fried rice. Then, I thought of a new way to serve it and found this omurice recipe. Okay, that’s something new and it got my attention.
The usual omurice is made of chicken as its meat and fried rice, wrapped in a paper thin scrambled egg. We don’t have chicken and it would be expensive to cook chicken for breakfast. Then, I remembered we have some leftover beef tapa in our fridge. Beef tapa plus kimchi? That’s got to be good.
