Gyeran Bap is a simple yet comforting Korean dish made with warm rice, a fried egg, soy sauce, sesame oil, and a few tasty toppings. Perfect for a quick breakfast or an easy meal anytime.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cooked white rice (preferably short-grain)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp soy sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/2 tsp butter (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp toasted sesame seeds
  • 1 green onion, chopped (optional)
  • Roasted seaweed (gim), crushed (optional)
  • Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Cook your rice if it’s not already prepared and keep it warm.
  2. In a frying pan, heat a small amount of oil or butter and fry the egg to your preferred doneness (sunny side up is traditional).
  3. Place the hot rice in a bowl and gently mix in the soy sauce and sesame oil. You can also add a small piece of butter if desired.
  4. Top the rice with the fried egg.
  5. Garnish with sesame seeds, chopped green onion, crushed seaweed, and a sprinkle of black pepper.
  6. Mix everything together before eating for the best flavor.

Notes

  • Use freshly cooked, hot rice for the best texture and taste.
  • You can customize with toppings like kimchi, spam, or gochujang for added flavor.
  • This dish works well with day-old rice too if reheated properly.
  • For a healthier version, use low-sodium soy sauce and reduce the amount of butter.
