Kimchi fried (with bacon and a fried egg)

I love eating kimchi fried rice or also known as kimchi-bokkeum-bap. It has become one of my favourite Korean dishes to eat. I like to order this when I am eating out at a Korean restaurant.

Ingredient

Food ration :

2 servings

1-2 tablespoons

vegetable oil (or any cooking oil)

2 knobs

unsmoked streaky bacon rashers, finely sliced

garlic cloves, finely minced or grated

1 cup

cooled cooked Japanese rice (or white rice, cooled down or left over rice from night before)

1 tablespoon

kimchi juice, liquid from the kimchi

1 tablespoon

gochujang (Korean chili pepper paste), optional if you prefer it hotter

1/3 cup

water, optional (if rice mixture is too dry)

2-3 tablespoons

cooking oil, for cooking the egg(s)

spring onions, finely sliced, optional

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Add oil and butter to the wok or pan. On medium heat, add the onions and sauté until almost translucent. Add the garlic and spring onions cook for a minute continuously stirring. Then add the bacon slices and sauté the meat until cooked. Stir frequently to prevent the bacon burning.

* Step 2

Once bacon has fully cooked, add another knob of butter and add the kimchi and stir to incorporate all of the ingredients. Cook for about 2 minutes. Then reduce heat to medium low and add the rice. Mix everything thoroughly together to evenly coat the rice with the kimchi.

* Step 3

Add sesame oil, kimchi juice and gochujang (optimal). Stir everything to incorporate all of the flavours. Reduce the heat to low and cover with a lid. Cook for another 5 minutes, stir the rice one more time and turn off the heat. Cover wok with the lid to keep hot.

* Step 4

To make the fried egg, add cooking oil to a small pan on high heat. Once oil is hot enough crack an egg and add into the pan. Cook the egg to preference (I like my egg yolk runny).

* Step 5

Place rice in a shallow bowl or plate and the fried egg on top. Garnish with spring onions and sprinkle sesame seeds (optional). Serve and eat immediately while hot.
