Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp (30 mL) canola oil
  • 1 cup (250 mL) yellow onion, small dice
  • 1 Tbsp (15 mL) minced garlic
  • 1 Tbsp (15 mL) minced ginger
  • 2 cups (500 mL) Napa cabbage kimchi, chopped
  • 3 cups (750 L) cooked whole red (brown) lentils
  • 6 cups (1.5 L) cooked jasmine rice, chilled
  • 3 Tbsp (45 mL) low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 Tbsp (30 mL) kimchi juice
  • 1 Tbsp (15 mL) toasted sesame oil
  • 1 Tbsp (15 mL) gochujang (optional)
  • 1 cup (250 mL) shredded carrots
  • 1 cup (250 mL) frozen peas, thawed
  • ½ cup (125 mL) green onions, thinly sliced
  • 10 fried eggs (optional)

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a large wok or wide sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook for 2–3 minutes until lightly translucent.
  2. Add garlic and ginger, cooking for 30 seconds until aromatic. Stir in kimchi and cook 2–3 minutes to slightly caramelize and reduce excess moisture.
  3. Add lentils and cook 1–2 minutes to warm through. Add rice, breaking up clumps. Toss to combine.
  4. Season with soy sauce, kimchi juice, sesame oil, and gochujang. Fold in carrots and peas; cook 2–3 minutes until heated through.
  5. Finish with green onions. Optionally, top each portion with a fried egg.
