Instructions
Cook Your White Rice
- **Feel free to use a rice cooker instead!
- Place one cup of rice in a strainer, cover with water, drain, and repeat until water is clear
- Add rice and water to a medium sauce pan. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, lower the heat to a simmer. Cover pan with a lid.
- Simmer until water is completely absorbed. This will take about 15-20 minutes.
- When water has completely absorbed, remove from heat. Fluff rice with a fork and allow rice to rest with the lid on.
- **While rice is cooking, move ahead and prepare Korean Baked Just Egg
Make the Korean Baked Just Egg
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
- Prepare your veggies. Shred the carrot and slice the scallion into thin slices. Prepare your mushrooms by thoroughly washing them and removing the bottom of the stems (the hard, dirty part of the stem). Cut 1/4 cup of kimchi into smaller pieces and set aside.
- Place the shredded carrots, sliced scallions, and mushrooms into a bowl. Add 1/2 tsp rice vinegar, 1/2 tsp sesame oil, 1/2 tsp agave, and 1 tsp soy sauce. Mix until evenly covered. Set aside.
- Now it's time to season your just egg. Add 1/4 tsp of black salt to the bottle of Just Egg. Tightly seal the lid and shake vigorously for at least 15 seconds or until evenly combined.
- Spray your baking tray with non-stick spray or line it with parchment paper. Don't skip this step! Use an 8x8 baking tray if possible.**I prefer to use silicon baking tray AND spray them with a non-stick oil spray
- Pour the seasoned Just Egg evenly into the baking tray
- Evenly top with seasoned veggies, sliced kimchi, and sesame seeds
- Place in preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes or until Just Egg is completely cooked. Use a fork to check the center to make sure the Just Egg is no longer liquidy.
- When cooked through, remove Korean Just Egg from the oven and slice into 4 portions.
Put it all together
- Plate your rice (recipe makes four portions). Top each plate rice with 1/4 of the Korean baked Just Egg. Serve with extra kimchi and scallions. Enjoy!
