Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups (375 mL) uncooked US-Grown Jasmine Rice
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) vegetable oil
  • 1 ¼ cups (300 mL) kimchi, chopped
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) kimchi juice
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) vegetable stock

  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) toasted sesame seeds

Directions

  1. Rinse the US-Grown jasmine rice, then cook according to package directions.
