This recipe is easily adapted to use whatever veggies you have on hand! If you can get some eggs from one of our market neighbors, you’ll be set. Feel free to switch out the rice for other grains as well, or cauliflower.
RICE 3/4 cup short-grain brown or white rice, rinsed 1 ½ cups water 1 pinch sea salt VEGGIES + EGG 2-3 Tbsp sesame oil, DIVIDED (toasted for more flavor, untoasted works, too) 3 cups packed mixed vegetables (such as finely shredded carrot, thinly sliced zucchini, or greens) 1 heaping cup bean sprouts (if you can’t find, sub more mixed vegetables) 2 stalks green onion, sliced on an angle 2 cloves garlic, minced 2 Tbsp soy sauce 2 large eggs FOR SERVING 2-4 Tbsp Korean Gochujang Sauce Kimchi (optional) Toasted or raw sesame seeds (optional) To a medium saucepan, add cooking water, rinsed rice, and salt. Heat over high heat and bring to a boil, reduce heat to simmer, and cover. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until water is absorbed and rice is tender and fluffy. Keep covered and set aside. While the rice finishes cooking, heat a large skillet over medium heat (stainless steel or cast iron are best). Once hot, add 1 tsp of sesame oil or enough to just coat the pan. Once the oil is hot, add vegetables one type at a time and cook in batches until lightly browned (1-2 minutes), seasoning each with a little minced garlic and a dash of soy sauce. Cooking in batches allows you to arrange vegetables separately over the rice for visual effect. Add more oil to the pan as needed between vegetables. Arrange cooked vegetables in individual piles on a serving plate and cover gently to keep warm until serving. To cook eggs heat the same pan over medium heat. Once hot, add a little more oil (sesame or otherwise), and carefully crack eggs. For sunny-side up (our preference), cover briefly with a lid to steam for 1 minute, then remove lid and continue cooking until whites are cooked but yolks are still runny. Turn off heat and set aside (uncovered). 4 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons minced ginger ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes 1 star anise, broken in half 2 teaspoons soy sauce (more to taste) 2 tablespoons dry sherry 2 tablespoons peanut or canola oil 1 small cabbage, 1 to 1 1/2 pounds, quartered, cored and cut crosswise into 1/8-inch shreds 1 medium carrot, cut into julienne Salt to taste 2 tablespoons minced chives, Chinese chives or cilantro Combine the garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes and star anise in a small bowl. Combine the soy sauce and sherry in another small bowl. Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or a 12-inch skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within a second or two when added to the pan. Swirl in the oil by adding it to the sides of the pan and tilting it back and forth. Add the garlic, ginger, pepper flakes and star anise. Stir-fry for a few seconds, just until fragrant, then add the cabbage and carrots. Stir-fry for one to two minutes until the cabbage begins to wilt, then add the salt and wine/soy sauce mixture. Cover and cook over high heat for one minute until just wilted. Uncover and stir-fry for another 30 seconds, then stir in the chives or cilantro and remove from the heat. The cabbage should be crisp-tender. Serve with rice or noodles. The best part of this salad is that you can really use any extra veggies that you have. Seriously anything you've got hiding in the fridge will work. If you don’t want to poach the eggs, just top with your favorite style egg.
4 cups vegetables (you pick!), cut into large chunks 1⁄4 cup olive oil Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper 1 garlic clove, grated Small pinch of smoked paprika 4 large eggs 1 pound salad mix 4 tablespoons Whole Grain Mustard Vinaigrette Flaky sea salt (for serving) Preheat oven to 450°. Toss vegetables with oil and season with salt and pepper. Arrange in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast, rotating pans halfway through, until vegetables are golden and tender, 25–30 minutes. Place grated garlic and smoked paprika in a large bowl. Add roasted vegetables and toss to combine. Meanwhile, bring 2” water to a boil in a large saucepan; reduce heat so water isat a gentle simmer. Crack an egg into a small bowl, then gently slide egg into water. Repeat with remaining eggs, waiting until white of egg in water is opaque before adding the next egg (about 30 seconds apart). Poach until whites are set but yolks are still runny, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer eggs to paper towels as they are done. Toss salad mix and roasted vegetables with dressing and season with sea salt and pepper. Divide salad among plates and top each with a poached egg. Hardly even a recipe! But so good, a must try with cabbage.
Preheat your oven to 400F. Slice your cabbage into 1” think slices, place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush each side of cabbage "steak" with oil, season with salt and pepper, and bake for 17-20 minutes. I like to squeeze some lemon on mine before serving. |
