This versatile recipe, punctuated with the spiciness from kimchi and your favourite kind of protein, is an easy one-pan meal to enjoy with a fried egg on top.
½ cup chopped kimchi 1 cup steamed rice 2 strips bacon ¼ cup protein of choice (chicken, prawns, tofu) ¼ cup mushrooms 2 eggs 2 cloves garlic, minced 3 tablespoons kimchi juice 1 tablespoon sesame oil 1 tablespoon vegetable oil ½ tablespoon toasted sesame seeds ¼ cup spring onions, chopped
Heat both the oils in a pan and add the garlic to cook until aromatic.
Add the bacon rashers and fry until crispy. Remove and set aside to cool.
Add the chopped kimchi and sauté for a couple of minutes before adding your chicken, prawns or tofu.
Add the mushrooms and cook until they are tender.
Remove everything on to a waiting plate while you scramble one of the eggs.
Add the mushroom mixture back into the pan, along with the bacon that has been chopped.
Add the rice and pour in the kimchi juice, toss everything together until combined before seasoning with salt, if necessary.
Sprinkle a generous amount of green onions and sesame seeds and fry the remaining egg into a sunny side up.
Place the egg over the rice and serve warm.
