Kimchi Omelet With Sriracha Syrup (courtesy of New York Times)

Yield 1 main course serving, or 2 to 4 appetizer servings
Time 20 minutes
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup rice vinegar
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons sriracha hot sauce, more to taste
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup kimchi, coarsely chopped
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • Salt, as needed
  • Black pepper, as needed
  • Toasted black sesame seeds, for garnish
  • Cilantro leaves, for garnish
Method
  • 1. To make the sriracha syrup, in a small pot set over medium heat combine vinegar and sugar. Bring to a boil and simmer until syrup is reduced by about half, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat and allow syrup to cool slightly. Stir in sriracha sauce and set aside while you make the omelet.
  • 2. In a small nonstick pan set over medium-high heat, add oil and warm until shimmering. Add kimchi and cook, stirring, until warm, about 30 seconds. Add eggs and quickly scramble mixture with a fork. Pat flat with a spatula; cook, without moving, until almost set but still slightly loose on top, 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Slide omelet onto a plate, folding half of it over the filling. Drizzle with sriracha syrup and garnish with sesame seeds and cilantro leaves.
