Recipes: Mama Kwon's Kimchi Fried Rice (김치 볶음밥)

A festive meal

This is a composite of our family's Thanksgiving meal of 2011. I know it's a little late, but I often get the questions "What is a traditional Korean Thanksgiving meal like?" so I hope this satiates that query. You can see it's a mix of western and eastern foods. All of it delicious, not only because of the food, but mostly because of the company that comes along with it.

Cheers,
Joe Kwon
