My take on Kimchi Fried Rice ^_^

The other day I read a friends status in FB craving for Kimchi Fried Rice... then I had a light bulb moment, got up off my bed and searched for a recipe online. Since we only have a small amount of Kimchi left in the fridge, I grabbed every left over we had and cooked my own version of Kimchi Fried Rice. Forgive me for the bad quality of the photo, we're in a hurry to take photos because we got way too excited to eat.


Kimchi Fried Rice out of scrap:

My left over Crispy Chicken Skin
My left over super Crispy Honey Cured Bacon, crisp it up on its own fat
Chicken Longganisa
About a teaspoon of Garlic Powder
Kimchi, chopped (add its juice if you want it really spicy)
A cup of Cooked Rice
Dried Onion Powder
Pinch of Dried Basil leaves
Salt
Pepper
Butter/Oil (I like my fried rice cooked in butter)
2 Eggs

Heat up the pan and the butter... sauté the garlic and throw in the seasonings (garlic powder, pepper, salt, onion powder and basil), add the chicken longganisas, cook thouroughly. Add kimchi and rice... mix everything up until all of the ingredients seep in... and then add the bacon and chicken skin. Mix, mix, then voila! You're in cholesterol heaven! In a different pan, cook the eggs sunny side up or whichever way you want your eggs. Serve your rice topped with eggs. ^_^

Of course my ever loyal fan, my cousin Aya loved it. You can add the juice from the kimchi jar if you want it spicy enough, try not to overdo it as it may taste a bit odd. I like mine mild though.
