김치볶음밥 (Kimchi Fried Rice)

This dish is the one that anybody can easily make. It requires little effort to make but the end result is a tasty meal. I like to make this food when I am at my house alone. The rice mixed with hot sauce, meat, and kimchi give it a spicy, meaty and tangy taste. Also a suggestion of mine is to slightly overcook the rice to have a more crunchy tasting dish.
