Ingredients
1 cup drained kimchi
1/2 cup cooked brown rice
1/2 pound ground beef
1 large egg
2 pinches kosher salt
2 tablespoons canola oil
Directions
Chop the drained kimchi into small pieces. In a large bowl, combine the chopped kimchi, cooked brown rice, ground beef, egg, and kosher salt until just mixed—do not overwork the meat.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 3/4 inch thick.
Heat canola oil in a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Carefully place the patties in the hot oil and cook for 3–4 minutes on the first side until golden brown.
Flip the patties and cook for another 3–4 minutes on the second side until the internal temperature reaches 160°F, indicating the ground beef is fully cooked.
Remove from heat and serve warm on buns or over rice if desired.
Comments
Kimchi and ground beef are solid finds at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, and Kroger, though kimchi will cost $4–6 per jar and you'll use only a portion—budget that upfront cost. The 10-minute claim ignores rice cooking entirely; brown rice takes 45 minutes, so plan for a 50-minute total if you're starting from scratch, or use leftover rice to hit the actual prep window. The patties themselves are quick to shape and pan-fry, and the dish feeds four generously with minimal fussiness. Leftovers reheat well in a skillet or microwave the next day.
