Egg-and-Kimchi Rice Bowl

  • PREP TIME 20 Min
  • TOTAL TIME 20 Min
  • SERVES 4 standard

    • INGREDIENTS

    2 cups kimchi

    ⅓ cup rice wine vinegar

    6 cups cooked brown rice

    Kosher salt

    4 strips bacon

    1 tsp vegetable oil

    4 large eggs

    1 avocado, pitted, peeled and sliced

    2 Spring onion sprigs, sliced

    2 tsp toasted sesame oil

    DIRECTIONS
    1. Combine the kimchi, vinegar and 1/2 cup water in a blender and process until very smooth.
    2. 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.
    3. 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.
    4. 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.
    5. 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.
