Easy Gyeran Bap


  • Author: Carmen
  • Total Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked rice – Ideally, use short-grain rice for the best texture. Leftover rice works perfectly, and it makes the dish even quicker!
  • 2 large eggs – Fresh eggs are key to getting that beautiful runny yolk.
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil – Adds a lovely, nutty aroma to the dish.
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce – For that savory, umami flavor. If you prefer a halal version, make sure to use a halal-certified soy sauce.
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds – These are optional but really enhance the flavor and texture.
  • A pinch of salt – Just enough to bring out the flavors without overpowering the simplicity of the dish.
  • Chopped green onions (optional) – These add a fresh, crisp touch.
  • Kimchi or pickled vegetables (optional) – If you want a little more flavor and crunch, add these as a topping!

Instructions

  • Prepare the Rice:
    If you don’t have leftover rice, start by cooking 1 cup of rice (which will yield around 2 cups once cooked). You can use a rice cooker or cook it on the stove with a 1:1.5 rice-to-water ratio. Let the rice sit for a few minutes after cooking to cool slightly. If you’re using leftover rice, just heat it up in the microwave or a pan.
  • Fry the Eggs:
    While the rice is warming up, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook them sunny-side up or to your preferred doneness. For a perfectly runny yolk, cook them for about 3-4 minutes. If you like your yolk a little more set, cook them a bit longer. You can also scramble the eggs if you prefer a different texture!
  • Assemble the Dish:
    In a bowl, place the warm rice. Drizzle the sesame oil over the rice and add a few dashes of soy sauce. Gently stir to combine, making sure every grain is coated in that delicious sesame oil. Add a pinch of salt to taste.
  • Top with the Egg:
    Place your cooked egg on top of the rice. Break the yolk if you like the runny yolk to mix with the rice, or leave it intact for a more dramatic presentation!
  • Finish and Garnish:
    Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the top, and add some chopped green onions for an extra burst of flavor. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can top it with some kimchi or pickled vegetables for that extra zing. And that’s it! You’re ready to enjoy.
