The kimchi fried rice at Moim is almost perfect in that it’s spicy, tasty, and juicy without being overly greasy. Kimchi fried rice can often turn out dry which is a big turn off. Moim’s fried rice has zucchini and mushrooms that add both freshness in flavor and contrast in texture to the main ingredient of pickled cabbage (kimchi). The shrimp is a nice addition but not necessary as the kimchi flavor is so distinctive and strong on its own, that the shrimp doesn’t add to the dish. Kimchi fried rice always whets my appetite for heavier foods, and the spiciness pairs ideally with meat, so an order of kalbi is a must!
