How to Make Kimchi Grain Bowl with Kale and Runny Egg

1. Prepare the Dressing

Whisk together the soy sauce, ginger, rice vinegar, and a pinch of sea salt. Gradually add the peanut oil and toasted sesame oil while whisking continuously until the mixture is well combined and smooth.

2. Steam the Kale

Fill a large pot with a couple of inches of water and bring to a simmer. Place a steamer basket in the pot, ensuring it doesn't touch the water, and add the kale. Cover with a lid and steam for about 7 minutes until the leaves are tender but still vibrant green.

3. Boil the Eggs

Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a gentle simmer and cook for exactly 6 minutes. Transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water with a slotted spoon to stop the cooking process.

4. Assemble the Bowls

Divide the warm, cooked grains among four bowls. Add the steamed kale, avocado slices, and a spoonful of kimchi to each bowl. Carefully peel the eggs and place one on top of each bowl. Drizzle with the prepared dressing and garnish with scallions, sesame seeds, and optional crumbled dried seaweed.

Pitfalls and tips

Perfect Grain Cooking

Use a 1:1.5 ratio of grain to water for fluffier texture and let it rest after cooking.

Balance and Harmony

Taste as you go, adjust salt and acid to balance flavors.

Quality Kimchi Matters

Opt for homemade or artisanal kimchi for superior taste.

Egg Timing

Cook the egg for 6-7 minutes for the ideal runny yolk.

Toast Grains Before Cooking

Toasting grains can add a subtle nutty flavor to your bowl.
