Waffled Rice And Eggs With Kimchi And Gochujang Recipes

CRISPY SKILLET RICE WITH GOCHUJANG, GROUND BEEF AND KIMCHI

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the bottom of the oven and preheat to 500 degrees F.
• Cover the scallions with ice water and chill until ready to serve (the ice water will make them curl).
• Whisk together the gochujang, soy sauce, sesame oil and garlic in a small bowl until smooth. Mix 3 tablespoons of the gochujang mixture with the ground beef in a small bowl until combined.
• Toss 1 tablespoon of the gochujang mixture with the carrots, kimchi and shiitake in a medium bowl until completely coated.
• Pour the oil in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet and swirl to coat. Add the rice and press down to flatten and cover the entire surface of the skillet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the gochujang mixture and spread it evenly over the rice, leaving about 1/2-inch of the edge exposed. Spread the carrot mixture evenly over the sauce and top with tablespoon-size portions of the beef mixture.
• Heat the skillet over high heat until the sides start to dry out and you see the oil sizzling around the sides, about 6 minutes. Transfer to the oven and bake until the meat starts to brown, about 8 minutes. Remove from the oven, crack the egg in the center and return to the oven to continue baking until the egg is set, 5 to 6 minutes more. Let cool for 10 minutes.
• Remove the scallions from the water, pat dry and sprinkle on top of the pizza. Top with the remaining gochujang sauce and some sesame seeds. Cut into slices to serve.

EGG-AND-KIMCHI RICE BOWLS

Steps:

• Combine the kimchi, vinegar and 1/2 cup water in a blender and process until very smooth.
• Toss the rice, half of the kimchi sauce and 1/2 teaspoon salt together in a medium 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 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 the bacon cooked in. 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. Remove from the heat.
• Divide the hot rice among 4 bowls. Top each with an egg, avocado, bacon, the remaining kimchi sauce and scallion. Drizzle each with 1/2 teaspoon of sesame oil.
