If you want dinner with ease, make it a rice bowl. You can cook the rice in advance and reheat it, or employ a rice cooker.

This crispy kimchi fried rice bowl is heavily inspired by Korean Bibimbap! I cooked the kimchi rice on a pan and spread the rice into a thin layer to get as much surface layer as I can and achieve those nice crispy grains.
