Ingredients

Cooked rice, 1 bowl Kimchi, 100 g Green onion, ½ stalk Egg, 1 Soy sauce, ½ tbsp Cooking oil, 1 tbsp

1 tablespoon = 15 ml; 1 teaspoon = 5 ml. A bowl of rice is a serving measure, not a standardized cup.

Heat the oil and green onion in a pan, then add the kimchi and stir-fry for about 3 minutes.
Add the rice, breaking up any clumps as you stir-fry. Pour the soy sauce around the edge of the pan and mix it through.
Top with a separately fried egg. Add crumbled seaweed and sesame oil to taste, if desired.
