Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups cauliflower rice (fresh or frozen)
- ½ cup kimchi (chopped, plus 1 tbsp kimchi juice)
- 2 strips bacon (chopped) or 1 tbsp avocado oil
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 green onion (chopped, white and green parts separated)
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp soy sauce or coconut aminos
- ½ tsp gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes, optional)
- 1 egg (beaten)
Optional Toppings:
- Extra green onions
- Toasted sesame seeds
- Fried egg
- Sliced avocado
- Sriracha or spicy mayo
Instructions
- Prep all ingredients before starting. Chop kimchi, mince garlic, and separate green onion whites from greens. Beat the egg in a small bowl.
- Cook the bacon in a large pan over medium heat until crispy. If using oil instead, heat 1 tbsp avocado oil.
- Add garlic and white onion parts to the pan. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Stir in chopped kimchi and cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Add cauliflower rice, stir, and let it sit for a minute before stirring again to prevent steaming.
- Season with soy sauce, sesame oil, kimchi juice, and gochugaru (if using). Stir well.
- Push rice to one side, pour the beaten egg into the empty space, scramble gently, then mix into the rice.
- Stir in the green onion tops and turn off the heat.
- Top with sesame seeds, a fried egg, avocado, or sriracha for extra flavor.
Notes
- If the cauliflower rice releases too much water, keep cooking until the moisture evaporates.
- Swap bacon for shrimp, ground beef, or tofu for variety.
- Adjust spice levels by adding more kimchi juice, gochugaru, or sriracha.
