Vegetable BokkEumBap _

야채 볶음밥, YaChae BokkEumBap


Fried rice is a very common food in Asian cooking. Depending on the Asian country, the ingredients can vary somewhat, but not by that much. Today, I will show you how to make Korean styled vegetable fried rice. There are no particular rules for the ingredients. So, you can use any kinds of vegetables you like. If you add some chopped ham, sausage, or hot dogs, it will be very delicious too. (Just reduce the amount of salt in those cases.) I like to make fried rice when I have leftover rice in the refrigerator. It is a very good way to use your old rice without wasting it. Plus, if your kids don’t want to eat their vegetables, try this dish for them. Not only is it healthy, but it is also delicious. Thanks!
