- Heat sesame oil in a wok or a skillet over medium high heat until hot. Add diced spam and sauté for about 4 minutes until browned and crisp on all sides.
- Add kimchi and onion, and cook stirring for 3-4 minutes until softened.
- Add rice, kimchi juice, and gochujang, and break up the rice as you stir - making sure everything is combined well.
- Taste, and if the fried rice is too sour (this may happen is the kimchi is too fermented), add 1/2-1 tsp of sugar to balance out the flavor and stir together.
- Turn off heat and stir in green onions.
- Divide into 3 bowls and serve warm, topped with eggs, green onions, seaweed, and/or sesame seeds - if using.

i feel like spam, gochujang, kimchi are all strong and great flavors but i wonder how we can make them so that each of the flavor profiles shine through but also aren’t too overwhelming and salty ?
Use more rice or reduce those ingredients!
