Cooking Instructions
- Bring a large saucepan filled with salted hot water to a boil. Add the rice and boil for 25-30 mins, until cooked, then drain.
- Finely chop half the chilli (remove the seeds for less heat). Cut the tempeh into 1cm cubes and place in a bowl with the teriyaki sauce. Mix to coat and set aside.
- Finely chop or crush the garlic. Thinly slice the spring onions (keeping the white and green parts separate). Trim and roughly the pak choi. Halve the lime.
- Heat a frying pan with half the sesame oil on medium heat. Add the tempeh (reserving the teriyaki sauce) and cook for 3-4 mins, until golden. Add the remaining teriyaki sauce from the bowl and cook for 1-2 mins, until absorbed.
- Meanwhile, heat another frying pan with the remaining sesame oil on medium heat. Add the garlic and spring onion whites. Cook for 2 mins, then add the pak choi and cook for 2-3 mins, until soft. Add the cooked rice, tamari and kimchi and cook for 2-3 mins, tossing to combine.
- Serve the kimchi fried rice in bowls topped with teriyaki tempeh. Garnish with the spring onion greens, chilli (to taste) and a squeeze of lime (to taste).
