Ingredients

  • 1 (16 ounce) jar kimchi
  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
  • 3 scallions, sliced
  • 8 ounces firm tofu, drained and pressed
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
  • 2 bunches baby Bok Choy, thinly sliced

  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 cups cooked and cooled brown rice
  • 2 teaspoons rice wine vinegar

  1. Drain the kimchi in a colander, reserving the liquid. Roughly chop the kimchi a few times into bite-size pieces, then set aside.

  3. Add in the bok choy and mushrooms and and cook until bok choy is bright green and tender, another 2-3 minutes.  
  4. Add in the chopped kimchi and soy sauce and cook until just heated through.
  5. Add in the rice, 1 tablespoon reserved kimchi brine and rice wine vinegar and cook, stirring frequently, for 3-4 minutes until mixture is heated through. Season to taste, adding more soy sauce, toasted sesame oil or kimchi brine, Sriracha/Gochujang, as desired. Serve immediately.
