Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups cooked rice cold
  • 1 cup kimchi chopped
  • 2 tbsp kimchi juice
  • 1 tbsp gochujang
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 green onions sliced
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds

Method
 

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet and stir-fry the chopped kimchi for 3 minutes.
  2. Stir in the gochujang and kimchi juice and cook 1 minute.
  3. Add the cold rice and toss until heated through and slightly crisp.
  4. In a separate pan, fry the eggs in the remaining oil until the edges are crisp and the yolks runny.
  5. Divide the rice into bowls, top each with a fried egg, and sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

Older, well-fermented kimchi gives the best tangy flavor.
