Easy 10-min. Dosirak Korean Lunch Box
Dosirak. A traditional Korean lunchbox made of rice, egg coated cooked spam, fried egg, sautéed kimchi and onion with roasted seaweed. This is a quick and easy meal idea ready in 10 minutes with leftover cooked rice.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked short grain rice or substitute with long-grain white rice
- ½ can spam sliced into 4 pieces
- 2 large eggs one for dipping spam and one to fry on its own
- 2 teaspoon vegetable oil or any neutral oil
- ¼ cup kimchi chopped
- ¼ cup onion thinly sliced
- ⅓ cup Korean seaweed flakes or sub with crushed seaweed snack
- ½ teaspoon sesame seeds garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Pack your cooked rice with a rice paddle or spatula into two-thirds of the lunch box leaving some space at the top and one the side for the other ingredients.
- In a bowl, beat one of the eggs. Then lightly grease a large pan with vegetable oil on medium heat. Dip each slice of spam into the beaten egg and fry on both sides until light golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Remove the cooked spam and place where there is an empty space of your lunch box.
- In the same pan set over medium high heat, lightly grease with oil. Fry your sliced onions until translucent and softened. Then add chopped kimchi and mix with onions. Cook until the liquids have evaporated. Once cooked, packed the kimchi and onions over the rice into one corner of the lunchbox. Reserve some room for the seasoned seaweed flakes.
- In the same pan over low heat, lightly grease with oil. Then fry your egg sunny side up or easy-over with a runny yolk. Place the cooked egg over the center of your rice.
- Place Korean seaweed flakes next to the kimchi and garnish with sesame seeds over your kimchi and fried egg.
- Break up the individual lunchbox components with a spoon. Cover with the lid. Give it a very good shake until the components mix together. Open and enjoy!
