There's a steak under that mushroom. "Kim chee" is the Hawaiian word for kim chi or kimchi. It is spicy Korean pickles. In Hawaii, it typically means cabbage or cucumber pickles. In Korea, it could mean a wide range of pickled vegetables.

Kimchi fried rice is a popular dish in Korea and Hawaii. Korean fried rice is a pretty intense dish and has a distinct red color to it. Hawaiian style fried rice is a lighter, less intense version. It is the Westernized version of the Korean dish. It uses little or no red Korean chili pepper and will be tan in color. It's a great dish but can be intense and spicy.

I make kim chee fried rice just right but a Fresh Off the Boat Korean would probably think it's awful. That's the breaks.
