    Heat {Vegetable oil} in a large wok or frying pan over high heat. Add the {Chicken breast} and {Black pepper}, then stir-fry until lightly golden and cooked through.

    ~5 min

  4. 4

    Add the {Onion}, {Garlic}, and {Kimchi}. Stir-fry until the onion softens and the kimchi looks glossy and fragrant. Push everything to one side, crack in the {Eggs}, and scramble until just set.

    ~4 min

    Add the cooked {Jasmine Rice}, {Gochujang paste}, {Soy sauce}, and {Sesame oil}. Toss and fry until the rice is evenly coated, hot, and lightly toasted in spots. Fold through most of the {Scallions}.
