Probiotic Kimchi Fried Rice
Nutritional Role & Bio-benefit
Kimchi delivers billions of Lactobacillus bacteria that colonize the gut and strengthen the intestinal barrier. The capsaicin in the chili peppers thermogenically raises metabolic rate. Using day-old rice creates resistant starch, which feeds beneficial gut bacteria.
How To Prepare
- 1Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in a wok over high heat.
- 2Add 1 cup chopped aged kimchi and stir-fry for 2 minutes until caramelized.
- 3Add 2 cups day-old cooked brown rice and 1 tbsp soy sauce. Toss continuously.
- 4Push rice to the side, crack 2 eggs into the pan, scramble, then fold into the rice.
- 5Serve topped with sliced green onion, sesame seeds, and a fried egg on top.
