Method

  1. 1

    Mix. Pour of the oil into a (2 tablespoons) big skillet or wok and turn the heat to mid-sized. Tip in the kimchi when oil starts to shimmer. Cook, mixing now and then, till the kimchi is heated through, around 2 minutes. Tip in the butter and the red pepper paste. Mix well till both are incorporated. Tip in the rice, breaking up any clumps using a wooden spoon. Mix till it is uniformly mixed in with the kimchi. Tip the sesame oil upon top of this mixture. Spread the rice plus kimchi out as much as possible so it sits level, and let cook for a few minutes till it gets a little crunchy on the bottom. Turn off the heat, plus share the mixture between four bowls. Pour the leftover one tablespoon of oil in a nonstick skillet set over a medium-high flame. Crack in the eggs, cover the skillet, and cook till the whites have set when shimmering. Use a spatula plus set one egg on top of every bowl of rice when each is done. Garnish with the crushed seaweed, spring onions, and black pepper. Eat at once.
