Step 1
Stir gochujang, sesame oil, and 1 tbsp water together in a small bowl until smooth.
Step 2
Bring a large skillet to medium-high heat with 1 tbsp oil. Add japchae and stir-fry until softened and lightly caramelized, ~4 minutes.
Step 3
Push japchae to the edge of the skillet. Add lettuce to the center and wilt, stirring occasionally, until tender, ~2 minutes.
Step 4
Divide rice between two bowls. Top each with the japchae-lettuce mixture.
Step 5
Return skillet to medium-high with 1 tbsp oil. Crack both eggs into the pan and fry until whites set but yolks jiggle, ~3 minutes.
Step 6
Slide one egg onto each bowl. Drizzle gochujang sauce over the top, sprinkle sesame seeds, and stir everything together before eating.
