Allergens

Eggs, Soy (in kimchi - depending on the brand)

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cauliflower rice (preferably made from fresh cauliflower)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3 slices of bacon, diced
  • 1/2 cup kimchi, chopped
  • 1/4 cup green onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil

Instructions

  1. In a large pan over medium heat, cook the diced bacon until crispy. Remove from pan and set aside.
  2. In the same pan, melt the coconut or avocado oil and add minced garlic, stirring for about 30 seconds to avoid burning.
  3. Add the cauliflower rice to the pan, cooking for about 5 minutes until it begins to soften.
  4. Stir in the kimchi and cook for an additional 2 3 minutes.
  5. In a separate non stick pan, fry the eggs to your preferred doneness.
  6. Combine the cooked cauliflower rice mixture with the bacon and green onions, seasoning with salt and pepper as desired.
  7. Plate the kimchi fried rice and top each serving with a freshly fried egg.
  8. Garnish with additional green onions for an extra pop of color.

Chef’s Insight

The secret to this dish lies in balancing the spiciness of kimchi with the richness of bacon and eggs, while maintaining a light and fluffy texture from the cauliflower rice.

Notes
