Ingredients

  • 2 strips pork belly or brisket any leftover protein you have
  • 3 cups cooked white rice leftover rice works best
  • ½ cup kimchi
  • ½ small onion cubed
  • 1-2 green onions sliced
  • ¼ can spam optional
  • roasted seaweed crushed in small pieces
  • sesame seeds garnish

eggs

  • 3 eggs
  • 1 pinch salt and pepper
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

spicy sauce

  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoon gochujang red pepper paste
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • ½ tablespoon mirin
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce

Instructions

  • Make spicy sauce by mixing 3 cloves of minced garlic with 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 2 tablespoons gochujang, 1 tablespoons sugar, ½ tablespoons mirin, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and 1 tablespoon fish sauce.
  • Heat pan to medium heat and cook pork belly (or protein of choice). Next, add ½ cup kimchi, sliced onion, sliced green onion, and spam (cut in small pieces). Fry for 1-2 minutes until golden.
  • Next, add 3 cups of white rice and spicy sauce (from step 1). Mix together until all the rice is mixed with the sauce. If you like crispy rice, you can press the rice down on the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes.
  • Crush roasted seaweed in small pieces and sprinkle on the fried rice. Add sesame seeds.
  • Add fried rice in a bowl and press down to make the round 'volcano' shape.
  • Add 3 eggs in a bowl and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk until smooth. Next, mix in ½ cup Mozzarella cheese.
  • Heat pan to medium heat. Gently add the bowl of rice on the pan while maintaining the 'volcano' shape. Be careful the bowl is hot! Dig a small hole at the top of the rice.
  • Add egg mixture around the rice and a little bit in the center.
  • Cook egg for 2-3 minutes until fluffy and cheese has melted. Top with some more seaweed! Hope you enjoy!
