Kimchi-Fried Grains

This vibrant kimchi fried grains recipe is a nutritious and punchy twist on traditional fried rice. Using a blend of hearty cooked grains like spelt or barley, the dish offers a satisfying, nutty texture that pairs perfectly with the spicy, fermented notes of the kimchi. It’s a wonderful way to brighten up a weekday lunch or dinner, providing a sophisticated balance of heat, acidity, and savoury depth that feels both light and restorative.

As a balanced nutrition dish, this meal is packed with fibre and probiotics, making it as good for your gut health as it is for your palate. The addition of a crispy-edged fried egg provides a rich source of protein and a silky yolk that acts as a natural sauce for the grains. Serve it immediately while the edges of the egg are still crunchy for the ultimate quick and healthy homemade meal.

Ingredients for Kimchi-Fried Grains

  • 120ml kimchi, plus 3 tablespoons juice from jar

  • 4 spring onions

  • 2 matskedar extra jungfruolivolja

  • 2 large eggs

  • Koshersalt

  • 1 medium carrot, peeled, cut into matchsticks

  • 475ml cooked grains (such as farro, spelt, quinoa, or barley)

  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce

  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

Squeeze kimchi over a small bowl to catch juices. Add juice from jar and set aside. Chop kimchi; set aside. Cut dark green tops from spring onions and thinly slice; set aside. Thinly slice white and pale green parts and set those aside too. (Whenever you make a stir-fry, you should prep your ingredients in advance, but it doesn’t have to be a whole thing; just scoot these things into their own piles on your cutting board.)

Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Crack eggs into pan; season with salt. Cook, shaking occasionally to prevent sticking, until whites are golden and crisp around edges and puffing up and set near yolks, about 4 minutes. Transfer eggs to a plate.

Return skillet with oil to medium-high heat, add carrot, and cook, tossing often, until slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Add reserved white and pale green parts of spring onions and kimchi and cook, tossing often, until spring onions are just golden, about 3 minutes. Add grains, soy sauce, sesame oil, and reserved kimchi juices; cook, tossing, until grains are slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Season with salt; divide between plates. Top with eggs, then nori, sesame seeds, and reserved spring onion tops.
