Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Stir gochujang, sesame oil, and 1 tbsp water together in a small bowl until smooth.

  2. 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.

  3. Step 3

    Push japchae to the edge of the skillet. Add lettuce to the center and wilt, stirring occasionally, until tender, ~2 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Divide rice between two bowls. Top each with the japchae-lettuce mixture.

  5. 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.

  6. Step 6

    Slide one egg onto each bowl. Drizzle gochujang sauce over the top, sprinkle sesame seeds, and stir everything together before eating.
