Total Time 25 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup kimchi over fermented & sour
  • 2 cups rice day old
  • 1/4 cup onions finely diced
  • 1 scallion chopped
  • 1/2 can (200g) spam
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce adjust to taste
  • 1/2 cup seaweed crushed
  • 2 eggs whisked
  • 2-4 tbsp cheese shredded
  • 3 tbsp oil divided

Instructions

  • Finely dice the onions and cut the spam into bite sized pieces.
  • In a bowl, cut the kimchi with scissors. Avoid cutting the kimchi on the cutting board so it doesn’t stain or stink up the board.
  • In a pan, heat up 1 tbsp oil over medium high heat. Add the kimchi and sugar and cook for 3-4 minutes or until softened. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
  • Using the same pan, heat up 1 tbsp oil over medium high heat. Add the onions and cook for 2 minutes or until translucent. Toss in the spam and cook until the edges have browned, about 3 minutes.
  • Place the day old rice into the pan and break it apart with a spatula or spoon. Add the kimchi, 2 tbsp kimchi juice, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar and combine until fully mixed.
  • Pour the crushed seaweed on top and mix it into the rice. Taste for seasoning.
  • To plate, transfer the fried rice into a bowl and pack it in with a little bit of pressure. Flip the bowl into the center of the pan. Add 1 tbsp oil around the fried rice and pour in the whisked eggs around perimeter of the fried rice. Place some shredded cheese on top of the egg. Cover with a lid for 30 seconds.
  • Garnish with scallions.
