Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 90 seconds.

  2. Step 2

    Add pork in a single layer, spreading to edges. Sear without stirring for 2 minutes until edges brown.

  3. Step 3

    Stir pork and break into smaller pieces, cooking 2 more minutes until mostly cooked through.

  4. Step 4

    Add gochujang, soy sauce, and sugar; toss until pork is coated and glossy, about 1 minute.

  5. Step 5

    Push pork to the edge of the skillet. Crack eggs into the center and fry until whites set but yolks jiggle, 2–3 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Divide rice between bowls, top with pork and fried egg, drizzle the pan sauce over everything. Serve hot.

Tools you’ll need

  • 12-inch skillet with lid (optional, for egg coverage)
