Ingredients
- 1 head Chinese white cabbage, sliced
- 1 carrot, shredded
- 1 bunch spring onions, chopped
- 1/2tsp salt
- 1tbs sugar
- 2tbs gochujang paste
- 5 garlic cloves, crushed
- 25g anchovies
- 25ml soy sauce
- 25g Korean red pepper flakes
- 5 slices ginger, chopped finely
- 200g bacon, chopped
- 1/2 leek, chopped
- 4 eggs
- 400g cooked long grain rice
- 1 bunch spring onions
- 1tbs fish sauce
- 30ml soy sauce
- Salt and pepper
1. For the kimchi, mix the cabbage, carrot and spring onions in a bowl with the salt and sugar. Leave overnight in the fridge. Wash the veg in cold water and drain off excess liquid.
2. In a food processor, blitz the gochujang, garlic, anchovies, soy sauce and red pepper flakes, and then massage the paste into the cabbage mix. Add the ginger and then, once mixed, transfer to airtight jars and push down the mix so that the liquid covers it. This is now ready to use and can be stored in the fridge for up to three months.
3. In a pan, cook the bacon in its own fat until rendered and crisp. Add the leek and two beaten eggs and fry until cooked. Add the cooked rice, spring onions, fish sauce and soy sauce and two tablespoons of kimchi. Fry two eggs in a pan and serve on top of the rice. Garnish with some chopped spring onions and season with salt and pepper.
