Instructions

Step 1: In a large skillet or wok, heat 2 tbsp peanut oil over medium-high heat. Add 1 cup chopped kimchi and sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened and fragrant.
Step 2: Push the kimchi to one side of the skillet. Crack 3 eggs into the empty space and fry until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 3: Add 2 cups cooked jasmine rice to the skillet, stirring to combine with the kimchi and eggs. Cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking up any clumps, until the rice is heated through and slightly crispy at the bottom.
Step 4: Stir in 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp gochujang, and 2 sliced green onions. Cook for 2 more minutes until the flavors meld. Adjust seasoning with additional soy sauce or gochujang if needed.
