5 Minute Gyeran Bap (Korean Egg & Rice Breakfast)
Description
This recipe uses a single egg fried sunny-side-up in neutral cooking oil. Warmed cooked rice is placed in a bowl with a small amount of butter on top, which melts immediately from the heat. The fried egg is then placed over the rice, and the dish is seasoned with soy sauce, sesame oil, and toasted sesame seeds, which lend a nutty aroma and flavor.
The eater breaks the yolk and egg white into pieces and mixes everything together, resulting in creamy, savory rice accented by the rich egg and fragrant oils. The dish serves as a quick, satisfying breakfast and can be complemented by traditional Korean side dishes like kimchi.
The recipe notes suggest customizing by adding toppings like crumbled seaweed, avocado, fish roe, gochujang (spicy fermented chili paste, which replaces soy sauce if used), chili crisp, or bulgogi beef to make it more substantial or varied.
Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tbsp neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
- 1 erving rice warmed, cooked
- 1/2 tbsp butter optional
- 2 tsp soy sauce preferably low sodium
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- 2 tsp sesame seeds toasted
Instructions
- Heat oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Crack an egg and fry it to your desired doneness. (I recommend sunny-side-up.)
- In a bowl, add warm rice. Place a thin sliver of butter over the rice and place the fried egg on top. The heat of the rice and egg will melt the butter instantly. Drizzle soy sauce and sesame oil over the egg, and sprinkle toasted sesame seeds.
- To serve, break the egg yolk with a spoon and break up the egg white into chunks. Mix the egg and rice together until well combined. Serve with kimchi on the side and enjoy!
Notes
- One egg is typical per serving but using two eggs will make the dish creamier and richer.
- Additional toppings such as crumbled roasted seaweed, avocado, fish roe, gochujang sauce (omit soy sauce if using), chili crisp, or ground beef bulgogi can be added for extra flavor and substance.
