Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Whisk gochujang, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and sugar in a small bowl until smooth.

  2. Step 2

    Divide warm rice between two bowls. Arrange japchae, cabbage, lettuce, and pickled peppers on top in small clusters.

  3. Step 3

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

  4. Step 4

    Crack both eggs into the skillet and fry sunny-side up until whites are set but yolks still jiggle, 3–4 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Slide one fried egg onto each rice bowl, centering it on top.

  6. Step 6

    Drizzle gochujang sauce over each bowl. Mix everything together and serve immediately.
