SPICY OVEN-FRIED RICE WITH GOCHUJANG AND FRIED EGGS

Steps:

• If using uncooked rice, combine the rice and 2 1/2 cups water in a small, deep saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover and cook until all the water has been absorbed, 35 to 40 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes, covered, then spread out on a large baking sheet to cool completely.
• Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Add 1 tablespoon neutral oil to a large rimmed baking sheet, and add the sausage. Cut it into smaller pieces right on the baking sheet. Transfer to the oven to cook, 5 minutes. Using a wooden spoon, break the sausage into smaller pieces again, then cook until no longer pink, 2 to 3 minutes longer.
• Add the carrots, scallion whites, mushrooms, brussels sprouts and broccolini to the sheet pan, stir well to coat with the oil, and sprinkle lightly with salt. Cook until the vegetables have wilted, about 10 minutes, stirring halfway through.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the gochujang, tamari and remaining 1 tablespoon neutral oil in a large bowl. Add the cooked rice and stir until evenly coated.
• Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Add the rice, stirring to combine with the vegetables, then press the mixture down with the back of a spatula. Return to oven and cook until rice is getting crisp on the bottom, 20 to 25 minutes, stirring once about halfway through and pressing down again. (If serving with fried eggs, begin cooking them about 5 minutes before the rice is done.)
• Divide oven-fried rice among plates or bowls and top each portion with a fried egg, if using. Drizzle with sesame oil, sprinkle with the scallion greens and serve immediately.

BASIL AND TOMATO FRIED RICE

Steps:

• In a bowl, whisk the eggs with 1/2 teaspoon salt.
• Heat a large wok or 12-inch well-seasoned cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium-high. When hot, add 1 tablespoon of oil, then pour in the beaten egg. Cook for 15 to 30 seconds, allowing the bottom to set slightly, before stirring and turning until just set. Break up the egg slightly, then remove from the wok and set aside.
• Heat the wok over high. Add 2 tablespoons of oil, along with the onions, and stir-fry for 1 minute, until slightly softened. Add the garlic and bird's-eye chiles and stir for 15 to 30 seconds, until fragrant. Next, add the tomatoes and 1 teaspoon of salt, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, tossing every now and then, until the tomatoes are softened. (Reduce heat to medium-high if it starts getting too smoky or the garlic begins to scorch.)
• Add the rice, soy sauce and half the basil, and season with 1 to 2 teaspoons of salt, to taste. Reduce heat to medium-high and stir-fry for 5 to 6 minutes, allowing the rice to soak up the tomato juices. As the liquid cooks off, the rice will char (though less so if using a nonstick pan) and develop some smoky flavors.
• Add the egg and remaining basil and toss for 1 minute. Turn off the heat and check seasonings, adding some black pepper and more salt if needed. Serve immediately.
