Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 portion recipe.
Rinse the sushi rice in a sieve under cold running water for 30 secs (use your hands to really wash the grains!), then set aside to drain fully
Add the drained rice with 200ml [400ml] cold water and a generous pinch of salt to a pot with a lid and bring to the boil over a high heat
Tip: Don't let the water fully boil as this will make the rice stick to the pot!
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low until very gently bubbling and cook, covered, for 15 min
After 15 min, remove the pot from the heat and keep covered for a further 10 min before serving
Tip: Don't peek! Keep the lid on the whole time to get fluffy and sticky rice!
Whilst the rice is cooking, peel and finely slice the brown onion[s]
Peel and finely chop (or grate) the garlic
Peel (scrape the skin off with a teaspoon) and finely chop (or grate) the ginger
Heat a large, wide-base pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium heat
Once hot, add the sliced onion and cook for 3-4 min or until starting to soften
Once softened, add the chopped ginger and garlic and cook for 2-3 min further or until fragrant
Meanwhile, trim, then slice the spring onion[s]
Once fragrant, wash and add the spinach and cook for 1-2 min or until starting to wilt
Once wilted, add the gochujang, soy sauce, kimchi and toasted sesame oil and cook for 1-2 min, stirring frequently until the gochujang has been fully incorporated
Remove from the heat until the rice is done
Once the rice is almost done, heat a separate medium, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick with a matching lid) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium-low heat
Once hot, add the black and white sesame seeds to the centre of the pan and crack the eggs over them
Cover with a lid and cook for 2-3 min or until done to your liking
Tip: Spoon some of the sesame seeds over the egg!
Once the rice is done, return the kimchi pan to a high heat and add the sticky rice
Cook for 2-3 min or until the rice has been completely coated in the sauce – this is your kimchi fried rice
Serve the kimchi fried rice and top with a sesame fried egg
Garnish with the sliced spring onion
Enjoy!
