Method
Prep the Ingredients
Cut the kkakdugi (radish kimchi) into small pieces using kitchen scissors.
Cube the ham into small pieces.
Cooking in the Pan
Heat cooking oil in a pan and add the ham. Cook until browned.
Add the kkakdugi and its juice to the pan and stir-fry.
Add sugar, gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes), and gochujang (Korean red pepper paste) and continue to stir-fry.
Pour in water and simmer on low heat until the flavors meld together.
Frying the Rice
Add the rice and stir-fry.
Increase the heat to high and cook until the moisture evaporates.
Once everything is well mixed, add 1 tbsp sesame oil and stir briefly to finish.
Final Touch
Fry one egg to your desired doneness (sunny side up).
Place the fried egg on top of the rice.
Garnish with sesame seeds.
