Description

A quick and flavorful kimchi rice bowl with jammy eggs, seared sausage, and a savory soy-sesame drizzle.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked white rice (jasmine or sushi rice)
  • 1 cup kimchi, chopped (plus a spoonful of juices, optional)
  • 68 oz smoked sausage or kielbasa, sliced into coins
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds (optional)
  • Soy-Sesame Drizzle:
    • 2 tbsp soy sauce
    • 1 tbsp sesame oil
    • 1 tbsp rice vinegar (or 2 tsp lemon juice)
    • 1 tsp honey or brown sugar
    • 1 clove garlic, finely minced
    • 12 tsp sliced jalapeño or red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Soft-boil the eggs: Bring a small pot of water to a gentle boil. Carefully add eggs and boil for 7 minutes for jammy yolks. Move eggs to an ice bath for 5 minutes, then peel and slice in half.
  2. Sear the sausage: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced sausage and cook 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned with a few charred edges.
  3. Mix the drizzle: Whisk soy sauce, sesame oil, vinegar, honey, garlic, and jalapeño (if using).
  4. Assemble bowls: Divide rice into bowls. Add kimchi, seared sausage, and halved eggs. Spoon the soy-sesame drizzle over everything.
  5. Finish: Top with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Make It Faster: Use leftover rice + pre-cooked sausage; the bowl comes together in 10–15 minutes.
  • Add-Ons: Cucumbers, avocado, sautéed spinach, or a drizzle of sriracha mayo.
  • Storage: Keep components separate; refrigerate up to 3 days. Reheat rice/sausage, add kimchi + eggs fresh.
