Instructions

1. Prepare Ingredients

   Chop the kimchi, mince the garlic, and slice the green onions (separate stems from leaves). Beat the two eggs in a small bowl.

2. Heat Pan and Cook Meat

3. Season Meat

   Add 1 tablespoon soy sauce, the minced garlic, and the teaspoon of white sesame oil. Stir‑combine for another minute.

6. Add Rice and Finish Seasoning

   Add the day‑old rice, the remaining 1 tablespoon soy sauce, the reserved kimchi juice, and the MSG. Toss everything together until the rice is evenly coated and heated through, about 3 minutes.
