Recipe from Andy Cooks · original post
A quick omelette cooked with kimchi, its juice, spring onion and melted cheddar, folded over steamed jasmine rice.
Ingredients
- kimchi60 g
- eggs3 ea
- spring onions — 4 spring onions60 g
- peanut oil — 1 tbsp20 ml
- grated cheddar cheese50 g
- jasmine rice — steamed to serve65 g
Method
- Squeeze the kimchi and save the juice in a medium bowl. Crack the eggs into the bowl with the kimchi juice.
- Finely slice the green tops of the spring onions and add to the bowl with the eggs. Slice the white stem about 1 cm thick and set aside.
- Add 1/4 tsp salt to the bowl with the eggs and whisk.
- Place a carbon steel or stainless steel pan over medium heat and add the oil. Add the kimchi and spring onion whites and fry for 1 minute.
- Add in the egg mixture, stir and tap the pan on the stovetop to release any air pockets. Leave for 30 seconds.
- Add the cheese over the whole surface of the omelette. Turn the heat down to medium/low for two minutes. Flip the omelette in half over itself. Make sure the egg is cooked through, before turning out onto a bed of steamed rice (about 1 cup cooked).

Vegetarian
- 60 g vegan kimchi instead of kimchi
Dairy-free
Kimchi Dairy-Free Cheese Omelette
- 50 g dairy-free cheddar instead of grated cheddar cheese
Dairy-free cheese melts more slowly, so give it the full two minutes on medium-low under a lid if you have one before folding.
