Instructions
- In a wok or large skillet preheated to medium-high heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet followed by the chorizo. Cook the chorizo for about four to five minutes. Once cooked, remove the chorizo from the skillet using a slotted spoon and set aside.
- In the same skillet as you cooked the chorizo, add one tablespoon of olive oil. Add the garlic and cook over medium-high heat for a minute or two. Next, add in the chopped onion. Cook for an additional two minutes. Add in the shrimp, reserved chorizo, and gochujang sauce. Continue cooking for about 3 to 4 minutes making sure everything is combined.
- Next, add in the rice and cook until the rice begins to brown about four minutes. Stir in the soy sauce, mirin, cilantro, sesame oil, and lemon juice. Continue to cook for another few minutes making sure everything is combined. Remove the skillet from the heat.
- Spray a smaller skillet with non-stick cooking spray. Crack two eggs into the skillet and cook until desired sunny-side up doneness.
- To serve: scoop a few spoonfuls of the fried rice onto a plate and top with eggs. Garnish with Sriracha mayo, white sesame seeds, and scallions.
