Instructions

Thinly slice the garlic cloves. Finely chop the scallions, separating the white parts from the green parts.
~3 min - 2
In a small saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-low heat. Add the sliced garlic and fry until golden brown and crispy. This should take about 3-5 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic. Remove the crispy garlic with a slotted spoon and set aside on a paper towel to drain.
~5 min - 3
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, gochujang, soy sauce, and sesame oil until well combined.
~1 min - 4
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add the white parts of the chopped scallions and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
~1 min - 5
Pour the egg mixture into the frying pan. Cook, stirring gently with a spatula, until the eggs are almost set but still slightly wet. Fold the eggs in on themselves to create soft curds.
~4 min - 6
Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the green parts of the scallions and a pinch of black pepper.

Serve the spicy gochujang scrambled eggs immediately, topped generously with the crispy fried garlic.

Tips
- For extra crispy garlic, ensure the oil is not too hot when you start frying. Low and slow is the key.
- You can add a teaspoon of rice vinegar to the egg mixture for a touch of brightness, or a pinch of sugar to balance the spice.
