Ingredients
  

For the Gochujang Mayo

For the Bowl

  • 2 bags Trader Joe's Frozen Brown Rice (or about 3 cups brown rice, divided)
  • 3 tablespoon Sesame Oil divided
  • 2 cups Fresh Spinach
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Sesame Seeds **optional**
  • ½ cup Kimchi
  • 2 drizzles Gochujang Mayo (or regular spicy mayo)
  • 2 tablespoon Cilantro roughly chopped
  • 1 medium Avocado split in half and cut diagonally
  • 2 tablespoon Crispy Fried Onions

Instructions
 

For the Gochujang Mayo

  • First mix together mayo, gochujang, sesame oil and sugar to make the spicy korean mayo. Set aside.

FOR THE BOWL

  • Microwave your Trader Joe's frozen brown rice according to the directions on the box - 3 minutes per bag.
  • Meanwhile, heat up a nonstick fry pan over medium high heat and add 1 tablespoon sesame oil and the fresh spinach and a pinch of salt. Cook it down for a minute or two until wilted then remove from the pan. Divide the cooked spinach in half and place each half in your two serving bowls.
  • Now use a paper towel to quickly wipe out your pan then add another drizzle of sesame oil.
  • Add your eggs and a pinch of salt and sesame seeds on top. Fry the eggs, sunny side, until the whites are cooked through, the edges are crispy and the yolks are to your liking.
  • Once the rice is done, pour each bag into the serving bowls and evenly distribute the kimchi on top followed by the fried eggs.
  • Add a drizzle of the gochujang mayo on top of each bowl then top with avocado, crispy fried onions and cilantro.
