Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
  • 2 whole eggs
  • 3 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 medium carrot, shredded
  • 2 tbsp gochujang (Korean red chili paste)
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 sheets roasted seaweed sheets, torn into strips

Instructions

  1. 1

    Divide rice between two bowls and set aside to keep warm.

  2. 2

    Heat 1 tbsp neutral oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 1 minute.

  3. 3

    Add spinach and a pinch of salt; stir until wilted, 60–90 seconds. Transfer to a small plate.

  4. 4

    Add another 1 tbsp oil to the skillet and crack both eggs into it without stirring. Fry until whites set but yolks still jiggle, about 3 minutes.

  5. 5

    Whisk gochujang with sesame oil and 1 tbsp water until smooth; drizzle over the rice.

  6. 6

    Arrange spinach, shredded carrot, and seaweed strips on top of each bowl, then slide one fried egg onto each. Serve hot and stir vigorously before eating.
