Ingredients

Servings:2
  • 3 cups Cooked white rice (preferably day-old)
  • 4 slices Thick-cut bacon, chopped
  • 1 cup Aged kimchi, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons Kimchi juice
  • 1 tablespoon Gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 2 pieces Large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame seeds(optional)
  • 2 stalks Green onions, sliced
  • 1/4 cup Roasted seaweed (gim) strips(optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large skillet or wok over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until it is crispy and the fat has rendered.

  2. 2

    Remove the bacon bits with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving about 2 tablespoons of bacon fat in the pan.

  3. 3

    Add the minced garlic and chopped kimchi to the pan, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until the kimchi softens and smells fragrant.

  4. 4

    Add the cooked rice to the pan, breaking up any clumps with a spatula, and stir to coat every grain in the kimchi and bacon fat.

  5. 5

    Stir in the gochujang, kimchi juice, and soy sauce, frying the rice for another 5 minutes until it develops a slight crust on the bottom.

  6. 6

    Drizzle with sesame oil and toss in the cooked bacon bits and half of the green onions.

  7. 7

    In a separate small non-stick pan, fry the eggs sunny-side-up until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny.

  8. 8

    Divide the rice into bowls, top each with a fried egg, remaining green onions, sesame seeds, and seaweed strips.
