Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked white rice (preferably day-old)
  • 1 cup fermented kimchi, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons kimchi juice (from the kimchi jar)
  • 1 tablespoon gochujang (Korean red chili paste)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon neutral cooking oil (such as vegetable or canola)
  • 2 eggs, fried (for topping)
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions
 

  • Heat cooking oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 2–3 minutes until softened.
  • Stir in minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Add the chopped kimchi and kimchi juice. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until the kimchi is softened and starting to caramelize.
  • Add gochujang and soy sauce, stirring to combine thoroughly.
  • Add the day-old rice, breaking up any clumps with a spatula. Stir well to coat all the rice with the kimchi mixture.
  • Continue to stir-fry for 3–5 minutes, allowing some rice to crisp up at the bottom.
  • Drizzle with sesame oil and add sliced green onions. Stir everything to combine.
  • Serve the kimchi fried rice in bowls, topped with a fried egg and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds.
