Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • 1 cup chopped kimchi
  • 1 tablespoon kimchi juice (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • Sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. Sauté 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 it becomes fragrant and slightly caramelized.
  2. Stir-fry Rice: Add the cooked rice, kimchi juice (if using), and soy sauce to the skillet. Stir well to combine and stir-fry until the rice is heated through and evenly coated with the kimchi mixture, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Fry Eggs: In a separate pan, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil over medium heat and fry the eggs sunny side up, cooking until the whites are set but yolks remain runny.
  4. Assemble and Garnish: Divide the kimchi fried rice between two plates. Top each serving with a sunny-side-up egg. Garnish with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra protein, you can add cooked diced chicken or tofu when stir-frying the rice.
  • If you prefer your egg fully cooked, flip it gently to cook over easy or over hard.
  • Use day-old rice for the best texture to avoid mushy fried rice.
  • Adjust the amount of kimchi juice according to your taste and kimchi’s sourness.
  • Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a simple soup for a complete meal.
