Gyeran Bap (Egg Rice Bowl)

Ingredients

• •2 cups cooked short-grain white rice, hot
• •2 eggs
• •2 tsp unsalted butter
• •2 tsp soy sauce
• •1 tsp sesame oil
• •1 tsp neutral oil
• •1 green onion, thinly sliced
• •0.5 tsp sesame seeds
• •0.25 tsp gochugaru or red pepper flakes (optional)
• •2 nori (seaweed) sheets, crumbled (optional)

Directions

1. 1Heat a small non-stick pan over medium heat; add neutral oil.
2. 2Fry eggs sunny-side up until whites are fully set but yolks remain runny, about 2–3 minutes.
3. 3Scoop hot rice into two bowls, leaving a well in the centre of each.
4. 4Immediately place 1 tsp butter on the hot rice in each bowl and let it melt.
5. 5Slide a fried egg on top of each bowl.
6. 6Drizzle 1 tsp soy sauce and 0.5 tsp sesame oil over each bowl.
7. 7Scatter green onion, sesame seeds, and gochugaru (if using) over the top.
8. 8Break the yolk and stir everything together vigorously before eating, mixing the butter and egg through the rice.

💡 Short-grain rice (sold as 'sushi rice' at most Canadian grocery stores) gives the best texture here — the starch helps the egg and sauce coat every grain. Crumbled seasoned nori snack sheets (sold at Costco and most grocery stores) make a great topping. This is a wonderful way to use leftover rice from the night before.
