Kimchi fried rice

Many people agree that the best rice for all fried rice dishes is kept overnight. The overnight rice is dry but not that dry.

Dry rice with still some moisture in it, is important while stir frying. Too much water content the fried rice will be mushy. If not enough water the fried rice will turn out brown (burned) and hard to chew.

Overnight rice is perfect for this recipe. If you have leftover rice and can't think of what to do with it, you might want to use that rice for this Korean dish - kimchi fried rice.
