- 1 egg
- A little mozzarella cheese (to taste)
- A pinch of grated Parmesan cheese
Seasoning & Others- 1/2 Tbsp oyster sauce
- Olive oil, as needed
- 1 Tbsp mirin (rice wine)
- A tiny pinch of black pepper
- 1/4 cup water (for frying the egg)

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare all the vegetables for the fried rice by dicing them finely. Chop the carrot, onion, and green onion. Shred or chop the imitation crab meat. Prepare the pollock roe you intend to use. (If you don’t have pollock roe, you can omit it or season with soy sauce instead.)
Step 2
Heat a pan over medium heat, add a little olive oil, then add the minced pork, pepper, and 1 Tbsp of mirin. Stir-fry over low heat, breaking up any clumps of meat as you cook.
Step 3
Once the minced pork is somewhat cooked, add all the prepared vegetables (carrot, onion, green onion), imitation crab meat, and pollock roe to the pan. Use kitchen scissors to cut the pollock roe into bite-sized pieces directly into the pan for convenience. Add 1/2 Tbsp of oyster sauce.
Step 4
Stir-fry over medium-low heat until the vegetables are tender and slightly softened. It’s important to cook until the savory flavor of the pollock roe is well incorporated with the other ingredients.
Step 5
Add the cooked rice to the pan. Use a little less than one full bowl of rice. (Adjust the amount of rice according to your preference.)
Step 6
Break up the rice with a spatula to prevent clumping, and stir-fry until it is evenly mixed with the ingredients. Ensure the salty flavor of the pollock roe is well distributed throughout the rice.
Step 7
Transfer the fried rice to a serving bowl. Sprinkle a generous amount of mozzarella cheese over the top. Place the bowl in the microwave and heat for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until the cheese is completely melted. (Microwave times may vary depending on your appliance.)
Step 8
Now, let’s make a soft fried egg. Pour about 1/4 cup of water (approximately one soju cup) into a clean pan and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, carefully crack one egg into the pan.
Step 9
Cover the pan with a lid and cook over low heat until the egg white is set and the yolk is still runny (sunny-side up). (You can also cook it to your preferred level of doneness, such as over-hard.)
Step 10
Carefully place the finished fried egg on top of the melted cheese fried rice. Finally, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley for a delicious finish! Your Pollock Roe and Cheese Fried Rice is ready.
