Old School Korean Lunch Box (Dosirak)

Bought two old school lunch box container some time ago from Korea but just store them in my kitchen cabinet.  Today while tidying up my cabinet, I saw these containers and thinking it's time to put food in the lunch box instead of storing them...lol...

 

In the old days, lunch box is made from metal box where the metal will allow heat transfer from the stove top heaters and keep the food stay warm until lunch hour.  The dishes for olden days lunch box were simple, usually pack with protein like eggs or sometimes with some meat like sausage and luncheon meat, top up with kimchi.

1. Cut luncheon meat into bite size.
2. Heat up a non-stick pan, add in the cut luncheon meat and fry over medium low heat until both sides turn golden brown.  (You can use some oil to fry the meat.  I do not add any oil to fry the meat as oil will release from the luncheon meat itself).
3. Remove the luncheon meat from pan.  Use the oil from the luncheon meat, add in cut kimchi and stir-fry.
4. Add in sugar and stir-fry for about 3 minutes over medium low heat.
5. Off the heat and drizzle sesame oil over the kimchi.
6. In another pan, add some oil and fry 2 sunny side up eggs and set aside.
7. Scoop cooked rice into the lunch box.
8. Arrange the luncheon meat, fried kimchi, egg and seaweed on top of the rice.
9. Before eat, slightly cut the egg and luncheon meat into smaller pieces using spoon, close the lid and shake a few times until all the side dishes and rice are mix together.
10. Serve warm ^^
