FAQ
Is this dish gluten-free?
It can be gluten-free if you use gluten-free soy sauce or tamari; regular soy sauce contains gluten.
Can I make this vegetarian or vegan?
Yes—substitute shrimp with tofu or tempeh, or omit the protein; check that the kimchi ingredients suit your needs (some varieties contain fish products).
How many servings does this yield?
2 servings.
How spicy is this dish?
Spice level comes from the kimchi and can vary by brand; for milder flavor, choose a milder kimchi or use less.
Can I prepare it ahead of time or how should I store leftovers?
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge; best within 1–2 days. Keep the rice separate.
Does heating affect the probiotics in kimchi?
Heating reduces live probiotic cultures; warming for 2 minutes lowers probiotic levels, but kimchi still provides fiber and polyphenols.
How can I reduce the sodium content?
Use low-sodium soy sauce; reduce the amount of soy sauce and season with herbs for flavor.
What substitutions can I make for dietary preferences?
Swap the shrimp for chicken or tofu, or add more vegetables; rice can be replaced with quinoa if desired.
