Kimchi & Prawn Egg Fried Rice

January 24, 2017 Amy Elizabeth

After reading Rachel's post on Asian ingredients, I was inspired to raid my local Asian supermarket on Friday night. And by raid, I mean spend an obscene amount of money on kimchi and kewpie mayonnaise. So, I would argue that this isn't so much a recipe as the result of me throwing a bunch of new ingredients into a pan and hoping for the best. Which sometimes is how the greatest dinners come together (and, in this case, a couple of leftover lunches, too).

There is nothing authentic about this dish, but it was filling and heart-warming, and slightly sour from the kimchi and slightly spicy from the sriracha, and colourful and basically everything I wanted to eat right at that moment, so maybe it is also the thing that you want to eat right at *this* moment, too, and I couldn't not share it.

As with all food of this nature, you can make it your own by mixing up the vegetables and protein (some peppers and pork might work nicely!) or, instead of scrambling the egg into the dish, you could serve one fried or poached on the top. Just do what you feel, spice it up nicely and eat it in big forkfuls from a bowl whilst reading a book or watching a trashy TV show. Live your best life, is what I'm saying. 

P.S. For Leeds pals, I bought my kimchi and gochujang (and a whole host of other fun ingredients) at Taste the Orient on Vicar Lane, which has been my go-to for Asian ingredients for a while now. I also picked up some gyoza skins in the freezer section to make these Pork & Chilli Gyoza so it was a winning weekend for food!

(Serves 2)

Ingredients

  • 1 leek, sliced
  • 1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 3-4 spring onions, sliced (plus more for garnish)
  • 1/3 cup kimchi, sliced into smaller pieces
  • 1 clove of garlic, finely chopped
  • 200g raw prawns
  • 500g cooked rice (I used two of those microwave basmati packets)
  • 2 tsp. gochujang
  • 2 tbsp. soy sauce (or more to taste)
  • 1 tsp. fish sauce
  • 2 eggs
  • Sriracha & kewpie mayonnaise, to serve

Instructions

  1. Heat some oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat and add the leek, mushrooms, spring onion and kimchi. Fry for 3-4 minutes until the leeks and mushrooms are starting to soften.
  2. Add the prawns and garlic and cook for a further few minutes until prawns have gone pink.
  3. Stir through the gochujang, and then tip in the rice. Add the soy sauce and fish sauce, and stir together until everything is mixed through. Taste and add more soy sauce if needed.
  4. Make a little space at the side of the frying pan by pushing the rice to one side, and crack in both eggs and mix to scramble slightly. As the eggs start to cook, stir them through the rest of the ingredients until evenly distributed throughout the dish.
  5. Serve immediately, with extra spring onions and sriracha and kewpie mayonnaise to taste.

Hello!

My name's Amy. 

 I live in Leeds with my husband, Paul, our son, Benjamin, and our cat, Tuna Fey. 

This blog is a little snapshot of my life, just as it is right now. It's a collection of many things; from motherhood and family to recipes, crafts, books and interiors.

Making a promise to myself that I’ll buy a bunch of daffodils whenever I see them because they make my heart so happy. I know it’s probably a false promise and we have plenty of frost to come, but it really feels like spring in the air and that is some kind of tiny miracle. Sunshine and yellow flowers are the greatest tonic ☀️

So in love with the colours of the fabrics for my next quilt 😍 It’s a gift for a friend, but I’m very tempted to make my own with just the coloured fabrics... and then redecorate a whole room to match. Seems reasonable, right?  #creativelifehappylife #createeveryday #createeverydamnday #amylizmakes #documentyourdays #hurrayforplay #stayinspired #wearethemakers #doitfortheprocess #makersgonnamake #showyourwork #maketimeforcreativity #dailydoseofcolour #colourmyjoy #ihavethisthingwithcolour #quiltersgonnaquilt #sewhappy
Okay, majorly unrelated caption alert but I *need* to talk about how much I love Sex Education. Major spoiler alerts coming, but seriously, this show is so smart and funny and full of heart and important and I actually might burst with how good it is. I *wept* on more than one occasion, but was particularly moved by Maeve's abortion (because how amazing to see abortion actually depicted in a non-sensationalised way that acknowledges the nuances and reality for women!) and I almost couldn't breathe when Otis and Eric danced together at the prom (because what an amazing display of non-toxic masculinity and friendship and all I want for Ben is for him to be able to hold hands with and support his friends!). God, I already want to rewatch the whole thing. And also dye my hair pink. More, please!

10/100 99 Percent Mine by Sally Thorne 📚❤️ I had a book hangover from Sally Thorne’s first novel, The Hating Game, and her second didn’t disappoint. I still think The Hating Game is my favourite, but I loved the sassy heroine and the sweet cinnamon roll hero and the fact that they were renovating a house and so much else about this book. More Sally Thorne books forever, please!

Paul, from the bottom of my feminist heart, I love you. Thanks for ranting more about the patriarchy than I do, and teaching our son that men do the cleaning and the childcare, and for not being weird about the fact that I’m smarter than you 😉
