Gochujang Fried Rice

1. 1

   Heat 1/2 tbsp oil in a pan over high heat.

2. 2

   Add your meat and cook until browned, breaking it up if needed.

3. 3

   Add kimchi (if using), the white parts of the green onion, and garlic. Cook for about 1 minute, until kimchi is lightly caramelized.

4. 4

   Add the rice and break it up, stir-frying until heated through.

5. 5

   Add gochujang, ketchup, sugar, and soy sauce. Cook for 2–3 minutes until evenly coated and slightly caramelized.

Cheese Crusted Omelette

1. 7

   Crack the eggs into a bowl. Add salt and whisk until smooth and fully combined.

2. 8

   Heat 1 tsp oil in a nonstick pan over medium heat. Sprinkle an even layer of mozzarella directly onto the pan. Pour the eggs over the cheese and tilt the pan to spread evenly.

3. 9

   Cook until the eggs are about 80% set, then turn off the heat. The residual heat will finish cooking the eggs to about 90%, keeping the center slightly soft.

4. 10

   Place the fried rice in a line across the center of the omelette. Fold the two opposite sides of the egg over the rice.

5. 11

   Place a plate over the pan and carefully flip to transfer.
