Cooking Steps
-
Wash and dry produce.
-
In a small pot, combine rice, 1¼ cups water (2¼ cups for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to low simmer; cook until tender, 15-18 minutes.
-
Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
-
While rice cooks, peel and mince or grate ginger. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens.
-
In a small bowl, combine sweet soy glaze, sesame oil, garlic powder, vinegar, and ½ tsp sugar (1 tsp for 4 servings).
-
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add coleslaw mix; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until lightly charred, 3-4 minutes. Add ginger and scallion whites; cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30-60 seconds. TIP: If pan seems dry, add another drizzle of oil.
-
Stir in edamame and sauce. Cook, stirring, until sauce has thickened and veggies are coated, 15-30 seconds. Turn off heat; transfer veggies to a large bowl. Wipe out pan.
-
Heat a large drizzle of oil in pan used for veggies over medium-high heat. Add cooked rice to pan and press into an even layer. Cook, undisturbed, until slightly crispy on bottom, 2-3 minutes.
-
Add veggie mixture and stir to combine; season with salt and pepper. Press into an even layer; cook until rice is slightly crispy, 1-2 minutes more. Turn off heat.
-
Divide fried rice between bowls. Top with kimchi and drizzle with spicy mayo; garnish with scallion greens and sesame seeds. Serve.

Updated on Feb 2026- Flavor: Many enjoyed the balanced flavors, though some found it too sweet or salty. The kimchi received mixed reviews.
- Ease of prep: Several struggled to achieve crispy rice; consider pre-cooking and cooling the rice for better results.
- Suggestions: Add protein like spam, shrimp, or tofu for a heartier meal. Some recommend more kimchi and less edamame.
- Portions: Generous servings; adding protein could stretch it to three meals for some.
- Spice level: The spicy mayo was divisive; some loved it, others found it too hot or odd-tasting.
Reviews from our home cooks
I enjoyed making this meal. The steps are unique and I hadn't fried rice in years. The Kimchi was so good. Pulled out my chop sticks.
I will never figure out how to make the rice not completely stick to the pan! Tough cleanup but delicious dish.
By far one of my favorites!! I chopped up some spam and fried it up and added...so so so good. Will order again
Turned out very good, rice still took longer to cook than expected
I added some gochujang air fried tofu to the dish to elevate it. Would be good to offer tofu as a protein source for vegetarians.
A great quick meal that will be easy to replicate on my own.
Plenty of food for two meals. If you added a protein, could for sure turn it into three meals. Very good flavor.
Needs a little protein next time but flavors were great!
Loved the base of this dish. Did not like the kimchi at all and ended up throwing it out. It would be great if there was a low sodium soy sauce option with the Asian meals.
Delish, opted to use shrimp for another dish but a great way to kick off 2026 regardless! Will order again!!!
