How to cook it · about 20 minutes
- If you have no leftover rice, cook the rice, spread it on a sheet pan and let it cool 20 minutes. Warm, fresh rice turns mushy.
- Chop the kimchi into small pieces and keep 1/4 cup of its juice. Dice the bacon and onion, and slice the green onions.
- In a large skillet over medium, cook the bacon for 5 minutes until the fat melts out and it starts to crisp. Add the onion and cook 3 minutes.
- Add the kimchi and cook 4 minutes, stirring, until it softens and starts to brown. Stir in the gochujang, soy sauce and sugar.
- Turn the heat to medium-high, add the rice and kimchi juice, and break up any clumps. Press it flat and leave it 1 minute at a time, then stir, for 5 minutes total so some bits get crisp. Drizzle in the sesame oil.
- In a second pan, fry the eggs in the vegetable oil until the whites are set and the yolks still runny.
- Serve the rice in bowls with an egg on each, topped with green onions and crumbled seaweed.
