Kimchi Bokkeumbap

Still haven't purchased a rice cooker yet, but I managed to get my hands on some rice anyway. With kimchi still in the fridge, it is time for another attempt at Korean food. This time: kimchi bokkeumbap.

Kimchi bokkeumbap is just kimchi fried rice, so I didn't really need a recipe. I just kinda went with it.

Here's my version, made with the following:

1 egg
a bowlful of chopped kimchi, very sour
gochung to taste
two cups cooked rice
sesame oil
kim
chopped green onions

First, I fried my egg. The ajumas at my favorite diner do it in super hot oil sunny side up, but I am still not brave enough to leave my egg yolk jiggly on top. I did it easy over.

I put the egg aside and put the kimchi in the hot pan along with some gochung. I let it cook until the kimchi was pretty soft and then added some kimchi juice and the rice. Mixing it thoroughly, I let the rice and kimchi cook until the rice was soft.

I put the rice and kimchi on a plate, slid the egg on top, and sprinkled some kim and sesame oil on top. A bit of green onion, and it was ready to be eaten!

Next time I think I'll add some onions and some tofu, but even just like this, it was pretty delicious.
