Ingredients

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Crack an egg and fry it to your desired doneness. (I recommend sunny-side-up.)
  • In a bowl, add warm rice. Place a thin sliver of butter over the rice and place the fried egg on top. The heat of the rice and egg will melt the butter instantly. Drizzle soy sauce and sesame oil over the egg, and sprinkle toasted sesame seeds.
  • To serve, break the egg yolk with a spoon and break up the egg white into chunks. Mix the egg and rice together until well combined. Serve with kimchi on the side and enjoy!

Notes

  1. Typically, one egg is used per serving, but you can increase it to two eggs if you prefer a creamier and richer taste.
  2. Try adding these toppings to make your gyeran bap more hearty and nutritious: crumbled roasted seaweed, avocado, fish roe or fermented pollock roe (myeongnan-jeot), gochujang sauce (if using, omit the soy sauce), chili crisp, and ground beef bulgogi.
