A while back, we used a package of kimchi to make Kimchi Squid Fried Rice. It worked out so well that when we purchased another pack of Kimchi and decided to give it the fried rice treatment again (but with some different ingredients). This time, we used steamed broccoli as our green ingredient, and we swapped proteins. These alterations changed the flavour profile a bit, and the result was a very different, yet equally delicious fried rice!
