Gochujang is a crimson red Korean sauce that is slightly spicy with a miso-like flavor. It's the perfect flavoring for these easy rice bowls topped with avocado, bacon and a fried egg.

Ingredients

4 cups cooked brown rice
3/4 cup Food Network Kitchen™ Inspirations Korean Gochujang Cooking Sauce
Kosher salt
4 strips bacon
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
4 large eggs
1 avocado, sliced
2 scallions, sliced
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
2 teaspoons black sesame seeds

Directions

Toss together the rice and 1/2 cup of the Korean Gochujang Cooking Sauce in a medium bowl. Cover and microwave until hot, stirring halfway through, about 4 minutes. Season with salt.

Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until browned and crispy, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain and then roughly chop.

Wipe out the skillet, add the oil and place it over medium-high heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and sprinkle each with a little salt. Cover and cook until desired doneness. Remove from the heat.

Divide the hot rice among 4 bowls. Top each with an egg, avocado slices, bacon, the remaining cooking sauce and scallions. Drizzle each with 1/2 teaspoon of the sesame oil and sprinkle with the sesame seeds.
