A simple microwave egg rice with melty mozzarella cheese, salty spam, and spicy kimchi.
Ingredients
1 cup cold, cooked white rice
2 large eggs
3 ounces Spam luncheon meat
2 medium scallions
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1/2 cup drained kimchi
1/2 cup low-moisture shredded mozzarella cheese
Korean seaweed (gim), for serving (optional)
Crispy shallots
Chili crisp
Furikake
Bonito flakes
Instructions
Place 1 cup cold, cooked white rice in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Crack 2 large eggs into the rice. Break the eggs up with a spoon and stir until each grain of rice is evenly coated with egg.
Dice 3 ounces Spam (about 2/3 cup). Thinly slice 2 medium scallions; reserve 1 tablespoon of the dark green parts for garnish.
Add the Spam, remaining scallions, 2 teaspoons soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil to the rice and stir to combine. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap (leave a small gap for venting) or a larger microwave-safe plate.
Microwave, stirring halfway through, about 3 minutes total. If the eggs are not almost set, continue to microwave in 30-second intervals.
Uncover and top the rice mixture with 1/2 cup drained kimchi (cut into bite-size pieces if large) and 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese. Microwave uncovered for 1 minute and 15 seconds. If the cheese is not melted and the eggs are not fully set, continue to microwave in 15-second intervals. Sprinkle with the reserved scallion greens and top with desired toppings. Serve with Korean seaweed if desired.
