Kimchi Egg Udon

Well it sure has been awhile. Sorry about that. But while I've been working on my new life it had little time for food blogging, let alone food making. I'm getting settled into my new home Prince George, BC. We've uprooted from the east coast to the west, with many adjustments. Sold everything, including all kitchen things. Now my kitchen is minimal with little appliances. I miss my food processor :( Anyways, here is a super easy delicious recipe I thought of when I had crazy kimchi cravings.



If you don't know what Kimchi is, you must go out and ask your grocery store/ find a Korean restaurant/ or go and buy some ingredients and make some now! It is very good for you! It is one of those super foods packed with dietary fiber, vitamin C, carotene, and has lactic acid bacteria aiding in digestion! The Ecology Action Center has a lovely blog and classes teaching people how to make their own kimchi. I used the one found at save on foods which is surprisingly wonderful, however expensive. Maybe later I will post my own kimchi recipe on whats for sups, but for now, here is my Kimchi Egg Udon recipe;

Makes 2 (large) servings

  • 1 tbsp of sesame seed oil
  • 1 block of udon
  • 1/4 red onion
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup of kimchi (more if you want it spicy)
  • Pepper to taste
  • Green onion and nori for garnish

In a frying pan heat the sesame oil in a pan (on medium - high) and lightly fry the onion for about a few minutes. Once the onion is lightly cooked add the udon noodles and fry for another 2 minutes, until oil absorbs. Add the kimchi and fry together until the onion is fully cooked.

Clear a space to crack the eggs on a clear surface of the pan. Let them cook a little then scramble into the udon kimchi mixture. Add pepper to taste.

Turn the heat on high and fry for another minute to get everything crispy.

Garnish with nori, and green onions and enjoy!
