Kimchi-Mushroom Fried Rice
with Bok Choy & Sriracha Aioli
Kimchi is a popular Korean condiment, cherished for its juicy texture and pleasant funk produced during fermentation. It's typically made from salted cabbage or radish with a variety of seasonings such as Korean red chile flakes, ginger, garlic, scallions, fish sauce, and shrimp paste. We use plant-based kimchi (sans shrimp or fish) to add bold flavor to this fried rice. Tender, meaty mushrooms, sweet carrots, and mustardy bok choy turn this into a satisfying, piquant dinner.

INSTRUCTIONS
Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and cook until lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Add carrot, bok choy, garlic, ginger, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until carrot is crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer cooked vegetables to plate and wipe skillet clean. (4-serving meal: use 2 tbsp vegetable oil) (TIP: Crisp-tender means the vegetables will still have some crunch.)
Return same skillet to medium-high heat with 2 tsp vegetable oil. Add rice, flatten to bottom of skillet, and cook, undisturbed, until rice begins to crisp and pop, 4 to 6 minutes. Stir in cooked vegetables and kimchi to fried rice. Cook until warmed through, about 1 minute. (4-serving meal: use 4 tsp vegetable oil)
Combine mayo and as much sriracha as you’d like in small bowl and whisk until smooth.
Divide kimchi-mushroom fried rice with bok choy between bowls and sprinkle with scallion. Drizzle with sriracha aioli. 잘 ë¨¹ê² ìŠµë‹ˆë‹¤!
