Today, I made a dish called a “Volcano.”
At first glance, I thought this dish would be perfect for kids or girls. However, I might have been a bit biased, thinking it was more about the visual appeal than anything else.
But to my surprise, the result was quite delightful. 
Although it looks extravagant, the preparation isn’t actually that complicated – just invert the fried rice into a pot, make a hole, and add some toppings. The vibrant red kimchi fried rice, which might have seemed a bit plain, is transformed by the cheese and egg mixture, infusing the fried rice with a rich aroma from top to bottom.
The best part is the circle of solidified egg at the base of the volcano, reminiscent of an omurice. But instead of a dry egg skin, it’s incredibly smooth and tender.
When eating, make sure to use a large spoon, scoop up the fried rice with some cheese, and then take a spoonful of the egg. The spicy, fragrant, and tender textures intertwine, bursting with flavor like an erupting volcano, truly living up to its name: Volcano Fried Rice. Enjoy it slowly!
