Equipment

  • 1 large skillet or wok

Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil split into 2 portions
  • 7 ounces kimchi roughly 1 cup, cut into bite size pieces if necessary
  • 5 ounces canned tuna drained
  • 2 tablespoons tamari soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons gochujang make sure it's a gluten-free type
  • 4 cups cooked rice warm

Toppings

  • 4 sunny side eggs
  • thinly sliced scallions
  • nori seaweed hand torn
  • toasted white sesame

Instructions
 

  • Heat up 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a pan. Add in the kimchi and tuna. Cook for 1 minute or until the moisture evaporates.
  • Add in soy sauce and gochujang. Stir until just combined. (You do not need to cook off the moisture here.)
  • Add in the cooked rice and 1 tablespoon sesame oil. Stir fry using a spatula or a turner.
  • Serve the fried rice on individual plates and top each with a sunny side egg, scallions, nori and sesame.

Notes

Storage direction:
Cooked fried rice can be refrigerated for up to 4 days in an airtight container. Microwave or cook on the stovetop again to reheat.
It can also be frozen for up to 3 months. To avoid the kimchi smell spreading in the freezer, make sure to store in an airtight container or cling wrap tightly.
