Instructions

  1. 1

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, kimchi juice (from the chopped kimchi), soy sauce, gochugaru, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.

    ~2 min
  2. 2

    Form the cooked rice into small, flat patties or cakes, about 2-3 inches in diameter. You can press them firmly with your hands.

    ~5 min
  3. 3

    Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the rice cakes and pan-fry for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.

    ~8 min
  4. 4

    Remove the crispy rice cakes from the pan and set aside on a plate. Keep the pan on the stovetop.

    ~1 min
  5. 5

    Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and the sesame oil to the same frying pan over medium heat. Pour in the egg and kimchi mixture.

  6. 6

    Cook the eggs, gently pushing them around with a spatula to create large, soft curds. Cook until they are just set but still slightly moist.

    ~4 min
  7. 7

    Serve the spicy kimchi scrambled eggs immediately alongside the crispy rice cakes. Garnish with chopped green onions.

    ~1 min

Tips

  • For extra crispy rice cakes, ensure your rice is slightly dry and don't overcrowd the pan when frying.
  • Adjust the amount of gochugaru to your desired spice level. You can also add a splash of kimchi brine to the egg mixture for more intense flavor.
