Critical Success Points

  • Mix the bowl thoroughly so the gochujang coats every ingredient.
  • Fry the eggs just until the whites set; overcooking makes the yolk too firm.
  • Squeeze excess water from microwaved spinach to avoid a soggy bowl.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle hot skillet with care to avoid burns.
  • Ensure eggs are cooked to at least 63°C (145°F) if you have concerns about salmonella.
  • Steam from microwaved vegetables can be very hot; open containers away from your face.
