Preparation

  1. 1

    Roughly chop the kimchi and finely slice the green onions, keeping whites and greens separate.

  2. 2

    Heat half the vegetable oil in a wok or non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat.

  3. 3

    Add kimchi and spring onion whites, stir-frying for 2 to 3 minutes until softened and fragrant.

  4. 4

    Stir in gochujang and soy sauce, then fold in chilled day-old jasmine rice, breaking up any clumps with a spatula.

  5. 5

    Stir-fry briskly for 3 minutes until the rice is evenly coated and piping hot; finish with sesame oil and green scallions.

  6. 6

    In a separate skillet, fry the eggs sunny-side up in the remaining oil; divide rice into bowls and top with fried eggs.

Kimchi is typically found in refrigerated Asian or specialty aisles.
