Ingredients

Instructions

1

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the chopped kimchi and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly caramelized.

2

Add the rice and break up any clumps. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the rice is hot and starting to crisp at the edges.

Tip: Day-old rice works best because it's drier. Fresh rice will be too moist and won't get crispy.

3

Add soy sauce, kimchi juice, and gochujang. Toss everything together until evenly coated. Push rice to the side.

4

In a separate small skillet, fry the eggs sunny-side up until the whites are crispy but the yolk is still runny.

5

Divide the fried rice between two bowls. Top each with a fried egg, sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and a drizzle of sesame oil.
