Ingredients
- 200 g salmon fillet
- 1 bowl cooked rice
- 100 g kimchi
- 1/2 avocado
- 1 egg
- 50 g button mushrooms
- 30 g red onion
- 1 tbsp Korean hot sauce
- 1 tsp light soy sauce
- 1 tsp white vinegar
- 150 ml coconut water
- 1 shot espresso
- to taste salt and black pepper
- to taste crushed seaweed
- to taste roasted sesame seeds
- to taste cooking oil
Instructions
- 1Cut the Salmon

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. - 2Season the Salmon

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. - 3Slice Mushrooms and Onions

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. - 4Poach the Egg

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. - 5Pan-Fry the Salmon

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. - 6Sauté Aromatics

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. - 7Add Kimchi and Sauces

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. - 8Add Water and Cooked Rice

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.
