For a vegetarian option, substitute the ham with firm tofu or mushrooms. Top with a fried egg for added richness and protein. Adjust the amount of gochujang to control the level of spiciness. Day-old rice works best for fried rice as it is drier and less likely to clump. Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, or spinach.
