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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
