While you are reading this I am currently in Florida. A little place called Marco Island. Ever been?
Just a little jaunt to relax without the kiddos. I don’t know if you follow me on Instagram yet, but you can probably tell (well I hope you can tell) I have been working hard. On what? I can’t officially say yet.
As soon as I get the go ahead to talk more, I will of course share and overshare as per usual with you guys.
Before we dive into the ham, egg, and kimchi fried rice situation, lemme ask you something. Do you have any recommendations of places to go and eat or sight see in Marco Island? I will be here until Wednesday afternoon. Hit me with all the deets!
Now, on to the fried rice!
Back when I shared this recipe for kimchi fried rice, I was making fried rice once a week. It is super easy. Mike and I devour it. Plus it uses up any leftover meat and veggies you may have on hand.
I never really add in eggs. You guys know, I reserve my eggs for breakfast. This time, I needed a little extra something, so in went the eggs! The one thing I always add in now and forever will be kimchi. It adds veggies and a whole new combination of flavors. Pick up a jar of kimchi. Add it to your fried rice to switch things up a little.
You will not be disappointed.
The eggs and the crispy ham are great together. Toss in spicy and pickle-y kimchi and it is next level.
Ok, back to the beach! Pray I don’t get sunburn. Let me know if you make this ham, egg, and kimchi fried rice.
