Instructions
Heat the oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.
Pro tip: Ensure the oil is hot but not smoking.
Cook the kimchi
Add the chopped kimchi and kimchi juice to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the kimchi is soft and fragrant.
Pro tip: Adjust the kimchi juice to taste for spiciness.
Add rice
Stir in the cooked rice and soy sauce, mixing well with the kimchi. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pro tip: Use a spatula to break up any clumps of rice.
Prepare for eggs
Make four wells in the rice mixture using a spoon.
Pro tip: This will help the eggs cook evenly.
Cook the eggs
Crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes until the egg whites are set but yolks are still runny.
Pro tip: For firmer yolks, cook an additional 1-2 minutes.
Garnish and serve
Sprinkle sliced green onions over the top before serving.
Pro tip: Serve directly from the skillet for a rustic presentation.
