Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 2 cups cooked quinoa (cooled)
  • 1 cup kimchi (chopped)
  • 2 teaspoons kimchi "juice" (the liquid from the jar)
  • 2 teaspoons gluten-free tamari
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)
  • 2 cups kale (finely chopped)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onions for garnish (optional)
  • Fresh ground pepper for garnish (optional)

Directions

  1. 1

    Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ginger and garlic and saute for 30 - 60 seconds until fragrant. Add the quinoa and kimchi and cook until hot, about 2 - 3 minutes. Stir in kimchi juice, tamari and hot sauce if using. Turn to low and stir occasionally while you prepare the other ingredients.

  2. 2

    In a separate skillet, cook the eggs on low until the whites have cooked through but the yolks are still runny, about 3 - 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Steam the kale in a separate pot for 30 - 60 seconds until soft.

  4. 4

    Assemble the bowls, dividing the kimchi-quinoa mixture and kale evenly between two dishes. Top with green onions and fresh pepper if using.
