Equipment

  • Pan or Wok
  • Spatula

Ingredients

  • 1 cup kimchi
  • 150 g bacon
  • 3 cups steamed short grain rice
  • 1/2 tsp minced garlic
  • 1/2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds�
  • roasted seasoned seaweed
  • 1 pack enoki mushrooms
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup Kimchi juice
  • 1 tbsp cooking oil
  • 1/2 stalk�green onion�

Instructions

  • Preheat pan/wok on medium-high heat, add and spread cooking oil.
  • Stir garlic for 10 seconds, then add bacon and cook halfway.
  • Add kimchi, cook until 80% done.
  • Add mushrooms, stir briefly, then reduce heat.
  • Mix in rice and kimchi juice thoroughly.
  • Add sesame oil, mix, and remove from heat.
  • Serve on a plate, garnish with optional sesame seeds, green onions, seaweed strips, and a cooked egg on top.

Notes

  • For best results, use kimchi that's at least 2 weeks old. If it's not, add 1/2 tsp of rice vinegar to the kimchi juice to give it a sour flavor.
  • If you're having trouble getting 1/4 cup of kimchi juice, especially with fresh kimchi, use 2 1/2 tablespoons of kimchi juice and 1 tablespoon of gochujang instead.
  • For a non-spicy option, substitute 1 tablespoon of soy sauce for gochujang.
  • Remember: 1 tablespoon equals 15 milliliters, and 1 cup equals 250 milliliters.
