If you’ve been making my kimbap recipes, chances are you have a big 0le’ stack of leftover vegetables in your fridge. Most of the vegetables might even be peeled & chopped already. This recipe is just for that! Let’s use up all those healthy vegetables in a Korean way – fried rice!
- Check out my post from yesterday for more explanation on what “well being” is.
- Also, for more details about bokkembap, check our my Fried Bokkembap Balls post.
Here I have some leftovers from my Well Being Kimbap & a yellow pepper I just had around. The carrots were already grated & peeled, alfalfa already rinsed & asparagus already blanched. So there was very little prep needed! All I needed to do was cook a little bacon, fry an egg & fry up my rice with the vegetables & seasonings. In about 15 minutes, I had a healthy lunch for two prepared.
