Ingredients
- 15g / 0.5oz unsalted butter
- 4 large eggs
- ⅛ tsp or 1 pinch of salt
- ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 80g / 2.8oz kimchi (a little brine is ok) (NOTE 1)
- ⅓ cup (45g / 1.6oz) shredded cheddar cheese (NOTE 2)
OPTIONAL GARNISH
- chilli oil
- spring onions / scallions
- sliced red chillies
Instructions
- Chop the kimchi into small pieces. There's no need to remove the kimchi brine as it adds flavour, but don't use too much as the eggs may get watery or soggy.
- Using a fork or whisk, lightly beat the eggs with salt and pepper until the yolks and whites are just combined. Do not over-beat the eggs.
- Melt the butter over medium-low heat in a non-stick frying pan. Pour in the egg mixture and let it sit for about 20 seconds, or until the eggs has just set in a thin layer at the bottom of the pan (watch above video). With a spatula, slowly stir the eggs from side to side, by pushing the spatula at the base of pan.
- Working quickly, top the egg with kimchi and cheese, then gently stir and fold the eggs to combine. The eggs should look moist and fluffy, but you can cook your eggs to your liking. Optional - Garnish with sliced spring onions / scallions, red chilles or chilli oil.
