Step by step

Method

5 steps

  1. 1

    Break up the cold rice with your fingers. Stir the kimchi brine, gochujang, soy sauce, and sesame oil together.

  2. 2

    Heat oil in a large skillet. Cook onion and garlic until fragrant, about 2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add kimchi and cook until lightly caramelized. Stir in the rice and press it across the pan so it can toast.

  4. 4

    Pour in the sauce and toss until every grain is coated and hot. Fold in half the scallions.

  5. 5

    Fry the eggs separately and place one on each serving. Finish with remaining scallions and sesame seeds.
