Notes

  • Use Day-Old Rice: Day-old rice is drier, making it ideal for fried rice as it prevents mushiness.
  • Don’t Overcook the Steak: For the juiciest results, aim for medium-rare doneness.
  • Adjust Kimchi: You can control the spice level by adding more or less kimchi to suit your taste.
  • Extra Flavor: For a spicy kick, drizzle sriracha or gochujang over the fried egg.
