Shrimp and Kimchi Rice Bowl Recipe (2024)

It is great to have a recipe that can be varied in many ways, as you suggest with the vegetables. Even regular rice will work in this recipe.I cook a similar rice bowl frequently, and top with pork slivers or even left over fish. One way to have rice on hand is to cook much more than you need for one recipe, and freeze the rest in cup size portions. When heated in the microwave and fluffed up, rice still tastes great. Frozen rice when thawed, is great for stir-fry.

Made this with slow roasted sushi grade salmon and it was delicious.

This seems very similar to Bi bim bap, one of my favorite dishes ever. As such I bet a fried egg on top would really add to it!

Great recipe. A dollop of gochujang in each bowl is a worthy addition.

Very tasty Covid cooking! Questioned unseasoned rice esp since kimchi had little juice. Added some gochujang paste, minced garlic and fresh ginger when cooking rice. Trader Joe’s sweet chili sauce was just right as is for shrimp, no need for sugar. Two of us; cooked one cup rice, we ate it all. I lightly rinsed the cabbage as it was very salty. Mandolin is great to slice cabbage and radishes. One cup kimchi this time. More next! Prepped veggies hours ahead, no loss of quality.

Loved it!!! Adding sautéed spinach was a mistake though.

I’ve made this many times and it’s always good. I follow the recipe but use whatever suitable veggies I have on hand. Tonight I used cubes of salmon instead of shrimp. Delicious.

Adding a little bit of seaweed salad really amped it up!

Simple, satisfying flavors. I think I will prepare this one, or some variation of it, frequently as the weather warms. Thanks!

Used tofu to make vegan and couldn’t get enough of this. Delish!

I made this in a pinch on a hot day when I needed something that could be prepped in advance. I was skeptical it would be tasty enough so I added a tamari/guajong mixture. It didn’t need it. I will make this on repeat and try using tofu or chicken. I added shredded carrots, edamame ans radishes. GREAT!

I added some extra sambal, steamed spinach with sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, extra sesame seeds, thinly sliced water melon radishes, grated carrots, and wasabi seaweed snacks. Very delicious--bit hit with little effort.

The simple sauce that one fries the shrimp in makes this dish. Wonderful!

For one of my vegetables, I sliced carrots with a vegetable peeler and roasted them with olive oil, salt, honey, brown sugar, and cayenne (375 for ~12 minutes). The sweetness and crunchiness was a beautiful addition. I also added enoki mushrooms, which went really well with the kimchi.

This is a great dinner. I loved the shrimp cooked in brown sugar and chili sauce. I chose to add shredded carrots, scallions, some spinach sautéed with garlic, avocado, pickled radishes, and lots and lots of kimchi. It definitely benefited from soy sauce and sriracha at the table to bring it all together.

Sautéed chopped shallots and mixed into rice. Next time more kimchee (namu gaji brand) and pickled ginger.

You can use just about any grain or seed (like quinoa) in place of rice.

What kind of Chile-garlic sauce? Sambal Olek? Gochujang?
