Adding fragrant sesame oil and a soft fried egg on top makes this a satisfying meal that will leave you amazed by its rich taste. If you love Ojingeojet, this recipe is a must-try. It’s easy for anyone to follow. Let’s get started with the Ojingeojet fried rice recipe!
Ingredients- 1 bowl of warm cooked rice (approx. 200g)
- 2 cloves fresh garlic
- 1/3 stalk green onion
- 1 egg
- 1.5 Tbsp seasoned squid (Ojingeojet) (adjust to taste)
- A pinch of sesame seeds (for garnish)
- A little cooking oil
- A little sesame oil
- A little shredded seaweed (optional)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the vegetables that will add flavor to our fried rice. Finely chop the green onion, using both the white and green parts. You can either thinly slice the 2 garlic cloves or mince them finely.
Step 2
Heat a pan over medium heat and add a generous amount of cooking oil. Sauté the green onion and garlic until fragrant and they turn lightly golden brown. Make sure to stir-fry them thoroughly so their delicious oils are released.
Step 3
Once the green onion and garlic are nicely sautéed and aromatic, add 1.5 Tbsp of Ojingeojet and stir-fry them together. Mix well so the savory flavor of the squid blends with the vegetables. (Adjust the amount of Ojingeojet based on its saltiness.)
Step 4
Now, add 1 bowl of freshly cooked warm rice. Use a spatula to break up any clumps and stir-fry until all ingredients are well combined. Ensure the seasoning coats every grain of rice. Once the fried rice is ready, turn off the heat, drizzle in some sesame oil for that nutty aroma, and mix it well with the rice.
Step 5
While the fried rice is cooking, heat a little cooking oil in another pan over low heat. Crack 1 egg into the pan and fry it to your preference, either sunny-side up or fully cooked. A sunny-side up egg with a slightly runny yolk is wonderful for mixing into fried rice!
Step 6
Transfer the delicious fried rice to a serving bowl. Gently place the warm fried egg on top. Finally, sprinkle with shredded seaweed and sesame seeds for extra flavor and visual appeal.
Step 7
And there you have it! Visually appealing and incredibly tasty – a truly irresistible Ojingeojet fried rice, bursting with umami flavor, that everyone will love! Enjoy your meal!
