Fried Rice Recipe with wildbrine Kimchi
A popular street food in China, fried rice has been enjoyed since 500 CE, according to Wikipedia. Many people treat this savory dish as a “kitchen sink” main course, loaded up with leftover vegetables, a little bit of protein, and plenty of umami flavor. Our fried rice recipe is just as versatile but takes it to the next level, adding some wildbrine probiotic-rich kimchi to the ingredient list.
