Ingredients
Scale
Rice Bowl
- 2 cups cooked jasmine or short-grain rice
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 cup chopped kimchi
- 1 tablespoon kimchi juice
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 1/4 cup chopped scallions
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- Salt and pepper to taste
Eggs & Toppings
- 4 large eggs
- 1 avocado, sliced
Instructions
- Cook the Eggs: Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Gently add the eggs and boil exactly 7 minutes for jammy yolks. Transfer immediately to an ice bath to cool. Once cooled, peel and set aside.
- Sauté the Kimchi: Heat sesame oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped kimchi and sauté for 3–4 minutes until slightly caramelized.
- Add Sauces and Rice: Stir in the kimchi juice, soy sauce, and gochujang, cooking for another minute. Add the cooked rice; stir well and let it warm through for 2–3 minutes.
- Assemble the Bowls: Divide the kimchi rice between two bowls. Slice the jammy eggs in half and place on top. Add sliced avocado, shredded carrots, and chopped scallions.
- Finish and Serve: Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm.
Notes
- For added protein, top with sautéed tofu, grilled chicken, or crispy bacon.
- Adjust the gochujang amount according to your spice preference.
- Use day-old rice for better texture and less stickiness.
