Method

  1. Fry diced spam in a wok until crispy on all edges, about 3 minutes. Set aside.
  2. Stir-fry chopped kimchi in the wok for 2 minutes until slightly caramelized.
  3. Add cold rice, breaking up clumps. Stir-fry on high heat for 3 minutes.
  4. Mix in gochujang and sesame oil. Toss with crispy spam.
  5. Fry eggs sunny-side up. Top each bowl of rice with an egg, scallions, and sesame seeds.

Timing

Allow roughly 4 minutes of preparation and 11 minutes of cooking. Read the method through once before you start so nothing waits on a pan you could have had going already.
