Print Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • ¾ cup jasmine rice
  • 1 yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 or 2 heads baby bok choy
  • ½ cup kimchi (Napa cabbage – red chile peppers – onions – fresh chives – fresh garlic – fresh ginger – salt – sugar)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • ¼ pound shredded carrots
  • ½ cup petite peas
  • 1 tablespoon sambal oelek (optional)
  • Fried rice seasoning blend (gluten-free tamari – sesame oil)
  • 2 pasture-raised organic eggs
  • Nori strips

Instructions

  1. In a small sauce pot, combine the rice and 1½ cups water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, 18 to 20 minutes. Fluff with a fork, cover, and keep warm.
  2. While the rice cooks, prepare the vegetables and the sesame seeds.
  3. In a dry small frying pan over medium heat, toast the sesame seeds, stirring constantly, until browned and fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool. Do not clean the pan.
  4. Peel and coarsely chop the yellow onion.
  5. Trim the root end from the bok choy; cut the bok choy in half lengthwise, then crosswise into thin strips.
  6. Coarsely chop the kimchi.
  7. Fifteen minutes after the rice starts to simmer, in a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the onion, season with salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the bok choy, kimchi, carrots, peas, and as much sambal oelek as you like, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the cooked rice and the fried rice seasoning blend. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  8. While the stir-fry cooks, prepare the eggs.
  9. In the same pan used for the sesame seeds, warm 1 to 2 teaspoons oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Crack the eggs directly into the pan and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the whites have set and the yolks are slightly runny, 2 to 3 minutes. If you prefer firmer yolks, cook for 1 to 2 minutes longer.
  10. Transfer the fried rice to individual bowls. Top with the fried eggs and nori strips, sprinkle with the sesame seeds, and serve.
