Vegan Kimchee Fried Rice

2 cups uncooked short grain rice and water for rice cooker

1 cup kimchi, coarsely chopped and 2 tablespoons juices reserved

3 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce

1 tablespoon gochujang (I omitted as mine had hardened)

1 tablespoon sesame oil

2 tablespoons canola oil

1 small onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced (I used 2 Dorot cubes)

2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger (I used 2 Dorot cubes)

Prepare rice in a rice cooker

While rice is cooking, in a small bowl whisk together kimchi juice, soy sauce, gochujang, sesame oil, and set aside

Heat canola oil in a large skillet over medium high heat 

Add garlic, onion and ginger, and cook, stirring frequently, until onions have become translucent, about 2-3 minutes

Stir in kimchi and cook for about 3-4 minutes

Stir in rice and kimchi juice mixture and cook for about 2-3 minutes
