Equipment

  • frying pan
  • Wok or high sided frying pan
  • Chopping board
  • Chef Knives
  • weighing/measuring utensils
  • spatula
  • wooden spoon

Ingredients

  • 3 cups day old rice
  • 400 g kimchi roughly chopped
  • 600 g steak bavette, skirt or flank
  • 1 sheet nori
  • 2 spring onions sliced
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • sesame seeds
  • 4 eggs

Instructions

  • Toast the nori by waving it over the flame on the gas cooker – this takes only about 20 seconds, be careful it doesn’t set on fire. Allow to cool and then cut into matchsticks
  • Cook steak on grill or in a hot pan for 3mins per side or until internal temp is 48-52c. Allow to rest for 6+ mins and slice thinly. Meanwhile, prepare the rice
  • In a wok or high sided frying pan add the oil on high heat and cook the kimchi, juices and whites of the spring onion for approx. 1-2mins. Put a pan on to fry eggs
  • Add cold rice, breaking it up along with soy & sesame – cook for 3-4mins or until hot throughout
  • As the rice cooks, fry 4 eggs sunny side up
  • Place the rice in a bowl, add steak to the side, top with a fried egg, spring onions and sesame seeds

Notes

Tips/Tricks

  • when making fried rice, ALWAYS used day-old rice or at least rice you made that morning. Ensure rice has cooled sufficiently, store it in the fridge until ready to use and cook through before serving
  • 3 cups of cooked rice is the equivalent of 1 cup of uncooked rice
  • ALWAYS rest your steak before slicing – I find the cuts mentioned above require a little more time to rest than ribeye or sirloin
  • want to add a little extra kick to the dish? Serve with a spoon of sambal
