Quinoa And Rice Bowl With Kale Kimchi And Egg Recipes

QUINOA AND RICE BOWL WITH KALE, KIMCHI AND EGG

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil and add rice. Let cook for 30 minutes, then drain. Return rice to the empty pot, cover with lid and let rice rest for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, bring 2 cups of salted water to a boil in a small pot and add the quinoa. Cover pot and let simmer over low heat for 15 minutes. Turn off the heat and let rest, covered, for 5 minutes longer. Fluff both grains with a fork.
• In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, ginger, vinegar and salt to taste. Whisk in peanut and sesame oils.
• Place a steamer basket in a large pot filled with an inch or two of water. Place kale in basket. Cover pot and cook over medium heat until kale is tender, about 7 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring a medium pot filled with water to a boil. Using a slotted spoon, carefully lower eggs into water; boil 6 minutes. Transfer eggs immediately to a bowl of ice water to cool.
• Combine 1/2 cup quinoa and 1/2 cup rice in each of four bowls. Divide the kale among the bowls, mounding it on top of the rice. Arrange avocado slices next to the kale. Peel eggs and cut in half; place two halves on top of each bowl. Sprinkle each bowl with kimchi, scallion, sesame and seaweed. Spoon soy-ginger dressing over bowls.

Steps:

• Combine the kimchi, vinegar and 1/2 cup water in a blender and process until very smooth.
• Toss together the quinoa, 1/2 teaspoon salt and half of the kimchi sauce in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Cover and microwave until hot, stirring halfway through, about 4 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until brown and crispy, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and then roughly chop.
• Wipe out the bacon skillet, add the vegetable oil and place it over medium-high heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and sprinkle each with a little salt. Cook until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny, about 4 minutes.
• Divide the hot quinoa among 4 bowls. Top each with an egg and some avocado slices, bacon, scallions and remaining kimchi sauce. Drizzle each with 1/2 teaspoon of sesame oil.
