- Add rice, kimchi juice, and gochujang, and break up the rice as you stir - making sure everything is combined well.
- Taste, and if the fried rice is too sour (this may happen is the kimchi is too fermented), add 1/2-1 tsp of sugar to balance out the flavor and stir together.

i feel like spam, gochujang, kimchi are all strong and great flavors but i wonder how we can make them so that each of the flavor profiles shine through but also aren’t too overwhelming and salty ?
Use more rice or reduce those ingredients!
