📝 Preparation Steps
1
Add rice to a small saucepan with a scant 1-1/3 cups water. Bring to a simmer then place a lid on top, turn the heat down to low, and simmer for ⏱️ 10-15 minutes or until rice is tender. Remove pan from heat then let rice sit and steam for ⏱️ 3 minutes before scooping and spreading out onto a large plate to cool. Once cool, measure out 2 cups then use the remaining 1/2 cup or so for another dish (or just add to this dish and slightly increase amount of Tamari/kimchi, etc.)
2
Add eggs and 1 teaspoon sesame oil to a small bowl then whisk to combine and set aside.

3
Heat a large wok over high heat. Add butter then, once melted, add shallots or green onions and stir fry until slightly tender, ⏱️ 1-2 minutes. Add kimchi and kimchi liquid then stir and heat through, ⏱️ 30 seconds, before adding kielbasa. Stir fry until mixture is mostly dry and kielbasa is golden brown, ⏱️ 5 minutes.

Turn heat down to medium then add rice and cauliflower rice. Mix to combine then add remaining 1 teaspoon sesame oil and go around the wok a few times with Tamari - I usually add about 1 Tablespoon. Stir fry until cauliflower rice is tender, ⏱️ 3-4 minutes.
