Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked short-grain rice (sushi or jasmine)
  • 3 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 medium carrot, shredded
  • 2 tbsp gochujang (Korean red chili paste)
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 2 whole eggs
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds, toasted

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, ~90 seconds.

  2. 2

    Add spinach and a pinch of salt, tossing constantly until wilted, about 1 minute. Transfer to a plate.

  3. 3

    In the same skillet, briefly warm the shredded carrot over medium heat, about 30 seconds, then transfer.

  4. 4

    Stir gochujang and butter together in a small bowl until smooth. Add 1 tbsp water to loosen into a drizzle.

  5. 5

    Add 1 tbsp oil to the skillet. Crack eggs into it and fry until whites set but yolks jiggle, ~4 minutes.

  6. 6

    Divide rice between two bowls. Top each with spinach, carrot, an egg, gochujang sauce, and sesame seeds.
