Ingredients

• Short-grain rice - 150 grams
• Water - 300 milliliters
• Dried seaweed (gim) - 20 grams
• Cooked chicken breast, shredded - 100 grams
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic, minced - 2 cloves
• Green onions, chopped - 2 tablespoons
• Eggs - 2 large
• Black sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - to taste

Steps

1. Rinse the short-grain rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then soak it in water for 30 minutes.
2. In a pot, combine the soaked rice and 300 milliliters of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the rice is cooked and water is absorbed.
3. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
4. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, shredded chicken, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and chopped green onions. Mix well to combine all ingredients evenly.
5. Spread the rice mixture evenly in a baking dish. Tear the dried seaweed into small pieces and sprinkle it over the top of the rice.
6. Make two small wells in the rice mixture and crack an egg into each well. Season the eggs with a pinch of salt.
7. Sprinkle black sesame seeds over the top and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is slightly golden.
8. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional green onions if desired.
