Korean fried rice with breakfast meat

Spread the love

Ingredients for 2 servings:

  • 1 small can of breakfast meat (Spam)
  • 1 stalk(s) leek or very large spring onion
  • 1 large carrot(s)
  • 1 tbsp, heaped garlic
  • 1 ½ tbsp Gochujang (Korean chili paste), alternatively Ssamjang
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 265 g rice, already cooked, preferably leftovers from the day before
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil, toasted
  • Oil for frying
  • 2 m.-sized eggs

Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 30 minutes; Total time approx. 45 minutes

Peel the carrot and cut into julienne strips. Wash the leek and chop very finely. Peel and finely chop the garlic. Finely dice the Spam (approx. 0.5 cm) and then fry slowly in the pan until golden brown, turning occasionally. You don’t really need any fat here. When the Spam is done, remove it and set it aside. Slowly sauté the leek in the pan. When it’s almost cooked, add the carrot strips and continue frying at a higher heat. When it starts to brown slightly, set it aside. Now add the garlic and oil to the pan and fry until translucent. Add the rice, chili paste, and soy sauce. Mix everything thoroughly, breaking it up while everything is frying. Now add the Spam and vegetables back in and mix well. When everything is well mixed, turn off the heat and add the toasted sesame oil. At the same time, fry two fried eggs. Divide the rice among the bowls and top with an egg on each one. A wonderful spoon dish that took my heart by storm.
