Instructions

1. Cut the kimchi into small pieces. Dice the onion, chop the scallions and cube the ham.
2. In a large pan over high heat, add 1 tablespoon oil or butter, then the onion and ham. Stir-fry for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the kimchi and stir-fry for another minute.
3. Add the cooked rice and toss to combine. Stir in the kimchi juice, gochujang and a pinch of salt, and stir-fry for about 1 minute until well mixed. Add the scallions and toss quickly.
4. Heat the sesame oil in a small cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Press the fried rice into the pan and leave it undisturbed for 1-2 minutes until the bottom is lightly crisp. (Optional step.)
5. In a separate pan over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon oil or butter. Crack in the egg, season with a pinch of salt, and cook sunny-side up or to your preferred doneness.
6. Serve the rice topped with the fried egg, sesame seeds and seaweed flakes.
