I have been obsessed with Kimchi recently, any foods that are natural probiotics are a friend of mine. Kimchi is a Korean dish that is a fermented, spicy cabbage, often mixed with garlic, ginger, and chilis. Kimchi can be eaten on its own, or it can be fried with rice, which is a popular Korean dish. Perfect to make in large batches and enjoy for lunches over the week. I adapted this recipe from NYtimes Cooking.
Ingredients
- 3 TBSP Unsalted Butter
- 1/2 Yellow Onion, medium diced
- 1 Cup Kimchi, roughly chopped
- 2 TBSP Kimchi Juice
- 1/2 Cup Salted Ham, diced [or any leftover cooked meat]
- 2 Cups Cooked, Cooled Rice
- 2 TSP Soy Sauce
- 1 TSP Sesame Oil
- 2 TSP Vegetable Oil
- 1 Egg
- Nori, ripped to pieces
Let’s Get Cooking
In a large saute pan melt the butter over MED-LOW heat and add the onions. After about 2 minutes, add in the kimchi + kimchi juice and stir until it comes to a slight boil. Add in the ham and cook for about 5 minutes.
Add in the rice and break it up with a wooden spoon, mix well. Turn up the heat and add in soy sauce + sesame oil. Mix and then turn down the heat, letting the rice cook.
In a separate small pan, add in the oil. Once the oil is hot, cook the egg to the desired doneness.
Serve the rice topped with nori pieces and the fried egg.
