5 Minute Gyeran Bap (Korean Egg & Rice Breakfast)
5 Minute Gyeran Bap is a simple Korean breakfast dish combining warm rice topped with a sunny-side-up egg, lightly melted butter, soy sauce, sesame oil, and toasted sesame seeds. The dish is enjoyed by mixing the runny egg yolk into the rice to create a rich, savory, and comforting meal, often served with kimchi for added flavor contrast.

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.
