Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1Cut the Salmon
    A gloved hand using a knife to dice thawed salmon into small pieces on a wooden cutting board.

    Place the thawed salmon on a wooden cutting board and slice it into small, even cubes using a knife while wearing protective gloves.

    Tip: Ensure your knife is sharp to make clean cuts through the salmon without tearing the flesh.
  2. 2Season the Salmon
    Salmon cubes arranged in a metal tray being seasoned with black pepper from a grinder.

    Transfer the diced salmon cubes into a metal tray and season them evenly with black pepper and salt, then marinate briefly.

    Tip: Let the seasoned salmon rest for a few minutes so the salt and pepper penetrate the pieces.
  3. 3Slice Mushrooms and Onions
    Button mushrooms being sliced with a knife on a wooden cutting board next to red onion.

    Place clean button mushrooms on a wooden cutting board and slice them uniformly, then dice the red onion into small pieces.

    Tip: Slice the mushrooms to an even thickness so they cook at a consistent rate.
  4. 4Poach the Egg
    A poached egg being lifted out of a pot of simmering water using a slotted spoon.

    Carefully drop a pre-cracked egg into simmering water with a little white vinegar, cook for two to three minutes, and then remove it using a slotted spoon.

    Tip: Create a gentle vortex in the water with a spoon before adding the egg to keep the whites neatly wrapped around the yolk.
  5. 5Pan-Fry the Salmon
    Seasoned salmon cubes being turned in a hot frying pan with a pair of tongs.

    Heat a little oil in a pan, add the seasoned salmon cubes, and pan-fry them until they turn golden brown on all sides, then remove and set aside.

    Tip: Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure the salmon develops a nice golden crust.
  6. 6Sauté Aromatics
    Diced red onions being poured from a small dish into a hot frying pan.

    Pour the diced red onions into a frying pan with heated oil and sauté until fragrant, followed by the sliced mushrooms.

    Tip: Stir frequently to prevent the diced onions from burning while they release their aroma.
  7. 7Add Kimchi and Sauces
    A hand holding a jar of kimchi above a pan containing sliced mushrooms and onions, with Korean hot sauce and soy sauce being introduced.

    Add the sliced kimchi, Korean hot sauce, and a little light soy sauce into the pan with the sautéed onions and mushrooms.

    Tip: Adjust the amount of Korean hot sauce depending on your desired level of spiciness.
  8. 8Add Water and Cooked Rice
    A splash of water being poured from a container into a pan containing a mixture of kimchi, mushrooms, and onions.

    Pour a splash of water into the pan with the kimchi and mushroom mixture, followed by the cooked rice, and stir-fry evenly until fully combined.

    Tip: Adding a splash of water helps steam the rice and prevents it from drying out during stir-frying.

Frequently Asked Questions

Day-old cold rice works best because it has less moisture, resulting in grains that separate easily and crisp up nicely during stir-frying.
Mash the avocado fresh with a squeeze of lemon juice right before plating. The citrus acid slows down oxidation and keeps the green color vibrant.
This dish is best enjoyed fresh, especially because of the avocado and poached egg. If you must store leftovers, separate the avocado and reheat the fried rice and salmon in a pan over medium heat.
