Rice omelettes have quickly become one of my favourite ways to eat eggs. The bottom layer of rice goes crispy in the pan and turns a couple of eggs into a filling, complete meal.
In the middle of this one is fresh, spicy gut-loving kimchi and melted cheese. It’s so tasty, easy and takes under 10 minutes to make, making it great for a quick, healthy midweek dinner or lunch.
You’ll need (per person):
125g cooked rice
2 eggs
100g kimchi
30g cheddar cheese, grated
to garnish:
1 spring onion, finely sliced
Sesame seeds
Heat a little oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the rice and spread it out into an even layer.
Break the eggs into a bowl and whisk with a fork. Add salt and pepper (don’t go wild with the salt as the kimchi and cheese are salty).
Pour the eggs into the pan and tilt the pan round in a circular motion so the egg runs to the sides.
Cook for a couple of minutes then when the eggs look cooked through, add the kimchi to one half of the omelette. Sprinkle the cheese over the top.
Cook for a further few minutes to make sure the rice underneath browns nicely.
Use a spatula to fold the omelette in half.
Serve with the spring onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Dig in.
Literally just debating what to have for lunch and this sounds 👌 wish I'd picked up the spring onions I almost bought yesterday!
