Ingredients
  

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup chopped kimchi well-drained
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 green onion thinly sliced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Instructions
 

  • Drain your kimchi well and chop it into bite-sized pieces. Too much liquid can make your eggs watery.
  • Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk until well combined. I like to whisk for about 30 seconds to get them nice and fluffy.
  • Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add the butter. Once it's melted and slightly bubbly, add the chopped kimchi and sauté for about 1 minute.
  • Pour in your whisked eggs. Using a spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges to the center as they begin to set.
  • When the eggs are almost set but still look slightly wet, remove the pan from heat. They'll continue cooking from the residual heat.
  • Sprinkle with sliced green onions and a drizzle of sesame oil if using.
