Traditional kimchi is made with fish sauce and salted shrimp. Vegan kimchi carries neither.

Flags follow UK labelling rules and come from the ingredients as listed, not from any particular brand. Check the packet before cooking for somebody with an allergy.

Ingredients

Egg3 large, about 165 g
Kimchi80 g
Chopped, with a spoon of its juice. Some kimchi is made without fish sauce; the flags here assume it is not.
Cooked white rice150 g
Leftover rice reheated is fine and quicker. Cooked weight. About 50 g of dry rice becomes 130 g cooked.
Spring onion20 g
Toasted sesame oil1 tsp (4 g)
Sesame seeds5 g
TamariHalf a tablespoon (8 g)

Method

Heat the rice and put it in a bowl. Warm the sesame oil in a non-stick pan over a medium heat and fry the kimchi for two minutes until it smells sweet.
Beat the eggs with the tamari, pour them over the kimchi and stir slowly until they form soft curds, about a minute. Take the pan off while they are still glossy.
Pile the eggs on the rice and finish with the spring onion and sesame seeds.

Worth knowing

Frying the kimchi first is the difference between this and eggs with cold pickle on top. It softens, sweetens and stops the eggs going watery.
Rice is 47 g of the carbohydrate and about a third of the 521 kcal. Swapping it for cauliflower rice takes the plate to about 370.
