Ingredients

• 3 tsp (15 ml) sunflower oil
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 75 g kimchi, roughly chopped
• 150 g leftover cooked rice, cold
• 3 tsp (15 ml) dark soy sauce
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 2 large free-range eggs
• 3 tsp sesame seeds, toasted
• Nori, to garnish, optional

Instructions

1. Heat a large pan over a high heat and add the sunflower oil. Add the onions to the pan and saute until they go slightly golden, about 3 minutes.
2. Add in the kimchi and a glug of the liquid it comes in and stir fry for 1-2 minutes or until it’s hot all the way through.
3. Add the rice to the pan and gently break up while also tossing through the contents of the pan. Season with dark soy sauce and sesame oil and stir through until completely incorporated.
4. Reduce the heat and in another pan fry the eggs in a little more oil until the whites are no longer translucent and the yolk is still slightly runny.
5. Serve the kimchi rice in deep bowl topped with a fried egg, toasted sesame seeds and some strips of nori seaweed.
