The Method

5 steps
  1. 1

    Heat half the butter and the vegetable oil in a frypan over high heat. Add the garlic and kimchi. Stir-fry 2-3 minutes until the kimchi has caramelised at the edges.

  2. 2

    Tip in the cold rice, breaking it up with a spatula. Add the kimchi juice, soy sauce, and gochujang. Stir-fry 3-4 minutes until the rice is hot through and slightly crisp on the bottom.

  3. 3

    Stir in the rest of the butter and the sesame oil. Off the heat.

  4. 4

    In a small frypan, fry the egg in a little extra oil until the white is crisp at the edges and the yolk is still runny.

  5. 5

    Pile the rice in a bowl, sit the egg on top. Scatter spring onion and sesame seeds.
