Equipment

Cheese grater
Stainless steel or glass bowl
Whisk
Non-stick frying pan

Ingredients

6 eggs
½ cup kimchi (drained)
¼ cup grated cheese (sharp cheddar, Gruyère, Parmesan...)
1 green onion or some chives
Salt and pepper
Vegetable oil for cooking

Steps

Preparing the Ingredients

Mince the green onion thinly.
Coarsely chop the kimchi (well drained so as not to soak the omelet).
Grate the cheese.

Preparing the Kimchi Omelette

Break the eggs into a bowl and add a pinch of salt and pepper.
Whisk vigorously until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy.
Stir in the chopped kimchi and grated cheese.

Cooking the Omelette

Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan over a medium heat.
Pour in the egg mixture and evenly distribute the kimchi pieces.
Sprinkle the green onion over the top.
Cook, without stirring, until the edges are set but the centre remains slightly runny (adjust according to the desired texture).
Fold in half, serve immediately, and enjoy!

Notes

💥 Extra punch: Add 1 tbsp. homemade gochujang or miso to the whisked eggs to impart an incomparable umami note.

🍚 Winning combo: Serve with a bowl of rice and homemade fermented sauce. You'll have a complete, healthy, and super tasty meal!

🔪 More depth? Test with aged kimchi or a more mature cheese (old cheddar, old mimolette, or why not blue!) for added complexity and aromas!
