  • 50g Ham
  • 1 Egg

  2. Heat 10 g oil in a pan over medium-high heat and fry the kimchi and ham for 3 minutes.
  3. Add 200 g cold cooked rice, 10 g gochujang and the kimchi juice, and stir-fry for 4 to 5 minutes, breaking up any lumps.
  4. Turn off the heat and stir in 1 teaspoon sesame oil and most of the spring onion.
