Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • 1 cup chopped kimchi
  • 1 tablespoon kimchi juice (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

For Cooking

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs

Garnish

  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • Sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook Kimchi: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped kimchi and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and slightly softened.
  2. Stir-fry Rice: Add the cooked rice, kimchi juice (if using), and soy sauce to the skillet with the kimchi. Stir-fry the mixture until the rice is heated through and well combined with the kimchi, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Fry Eggs: In a separate pan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Fry the eggs sunny side up, cooking until the whites are set but yolks remain runny.
  4. Plate and Garnish: Divide the kimchi fried rice evenly between two plates. Top each portion with a sunny-side-up egg. Garnish with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

  • You can substitute vegetable oil with sesame oil for a nuttier flavor.
  • For a less spicy version, rinse kimchi before cooking or reduce the amount used.
  • Leftover rice works best if it is cold and a bit dry to avoid sticky fried rice.
  • Add protein such as cooked chicken or tofu to make it more filling.
  • Adjust soy sauce quantity according to your salt preference.
