Notes

Use fresh rice. Gyeran bap is best enjoyed with freshly cooked warm rice.
Use quality organic eggs. Splurging on quality organic eggs with deep golden orange-yellow yolk will yield the best flavor for fried eggs with rice.
Cook your eggs to the desired doneness. You can cook the sunny-side-up fried eggs until runny or until well done based on your preference!
Preheat the pan before adding the eggs. Make sure the pan and cooking oil are hot over medium heat before adding your eggs for the ultimate crisp.
For added crispy edges, add a drizzle of oil along the edges of the egg white to crisp up the fried egg edges.
Season to your preferences. Taste and adjust the seasonings if needed and serve with kimchi and seaweed snacks for the ultimate Korean rice and eggs.
