Instructions

  1. 1Heat the 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large 30.48 cm skillet or wok over medium-high heat, which is about 190°C.
  2. 2Add the 1/2 medium onion, cut into 0.635 cm pieces, and the 1/2 medium carrot, cut into 0.635 cm cubes. Stir-fry for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to soften and the onion looks slightly translucent.

  5. 5Drizzle the 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over the fried rice and toss well to combine. Cook for 1 more minute.
  6. 6Transfer the kimchi fried rice to serving plates. Garnish with the 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds and the 2 stalks of scallions, thinly sliced. Serve immediately.
