Kimchi fried rice with crispy fried egg
Korean 10 Mins Prep · 20 Mins Cook
- Strain the kimchi and reserve 4 tablespoons of the liquid. Chop the kimchi into bite-sized pieces.
- Finely slice the spring onions, keeping the greens separate.
- Heat 1 tsp sunflower oil in a large wok over a medium heat. Add the kimchi and white parts of the spring onion. Stir-fry for approx. 2-3 minutes until tender and slightly caramelised. Pour the reserved kimchi liquid and water into the pan and stir in the gochujang. Simmer until slightly thickened, approx 2-3 minutes. Add the cooked rice and toss everything together, ensuring the rice is evenly coated in the sauce. Pat down the rice into an even layer and fry for approx. 5 minutes to create a crispy layer at the bottom.
- To make the crispy eggs, heat 2 tbsp sunflower oil in a medium-sized non-stick pan over a high heat. Just before it reaches the smoking point, crack in the eggs. Bubbles will begin to form around the edges. Fry for approx.1-2 minutes until the bottom is golden but the yolk is soft. Drizzle the sesame oil over the fried rice before removing it from the heat.
- Divide the rice mixture between two bowls and top each with a crispy fried egg. Finely slice the nori sheet. Scatter the spring onion greens, sesame seeds and shredded nori over the top and serve.
