Method
Rinse the rice, cover with 150 ml water, add salt, and cook covered for 16–18 minutes until tender.
Cut the chicken1 into pieces and toss with 10 ml soy sauce.
Heat 6 g oil and fry the chicken1 for 8–10 minutes until browned and cooked through.
Fry the egg in the remaining oil for 2–3 minutes, until the white is set and the yolk stays soft.
Slice the cucumber5 thinly and roughly chop the kimchi2 if needed.
Spoon the rice into a bowl as the base, arrange the chicken1, kimchi2, and cucumber5 in sections, and top with the egg.
Drizzle with the remaining soy sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Tips
- Why it works
- Fry the chicken over medium heat so it cooks evenly and doesn't burn outside, staying juicy inside. If the heat is too high, the juice runs out and the meat gets dry.
- Substitutions
- Replace the kimchi with 75 g pickled onion or 60 g salted cucumbers. Instead of cucumbers, take 60 g radish sliced thin.
- Common mistakes
- If the rice is dry or crumbly, there was too little water or the lid wasn't tight while cooking. Check it after 16 minutes.
- Storing and reheating
- Keep in the fridge for no more than 2 days. Reheat in the microwave for 1–2 minutes, covering the plate. Don't store the egg, cook it fresh.
- Serve with
- Serve with iced tea or green tea with lemon to soften the kimchi heat and refresh the taste after the fried food.
