There are hardly any Koreans who haven’t tried this dish because the recipe is super easy, and it tastes amazing. It’s made with just a few simple ingredients—warm rice, soy sauce, eggs, sesame oil and sesame seeds for extra flavor.

 

 

 

The best part is that anyone can make it in just a few minutes. You simply mix a fried egg into a bowl of hot rice, add a splash of soy sauce, and stir everything together.
