20-Minute Korean Bulgogi Fried Rice Recipe Will Be Your New Favorite

My favorite grocery store has a chef's area where they cook and give out samples. They supply the recipe and all the ingredients right there for you to buy – including the pricey specialty sauces and seasonings they used. Bulgogi rice was on the menu last week. Delicious! After nabbing the Korean fried rice recipe, I hit the aisles to create my own version that cost a lot less.

This easy bulgogi fried rice recipe is made with Korean barbecue sauce (aka bulgogi sauce), frozen vegetables (quick and easy) and basmati rice. For best results, make the rice the morning of or night before and refrigerate so its cold. Other ingredients in this Korean recipe are chopped green onions, garlic and eggs. Eggs are a must in fried recipes recipes!

I served this fried rice with grilled chicken and a crispy egg roll. It was a delicious dinner that I will be making again. Next time I may try making fried rice with char sui sauce.
