Whole Grain Mushroom And Kimchi Brown Rice Food

WHOLE-GRAIN MUSHROOM AND KIMCHI BROWN RICE

Steps:

• Mix the kimchi, soy sauce, sesame oil and sugar in a small bowl or measuring cup until the sugar is dissolved; set aside.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the mushrooms and 1/8 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring, until the mushrooms release water, about 2 minutes. Lower the heat to medium-low and continue to stir until the mushrooms are lightly browned and soft, about 5 minutes. Add the ginger and garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits in the skillet, and simmer until slightly reduced, about 1 minute. Stir in the rice, reduce the heat to low, cover and cook until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is heated through, about 3 minutes. Stir in the kimchi mixture and cook until everything is heated through, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish and top with the scallions. Serve hot.

BLACKSTONE MUSHROOM AND KIMCHI FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Set 3 burners to high and 1 burner on either the far right or left to low on a 36-inch Blackstone® Griddle Cooking Station and preheat for 10 minutes.
• Whisk the kimchi juice, butter, gochujang, sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic and 1 tablespoon salt in a medium bowl until well combined; set aside.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil on the high-heat side of the griddle. Add the carrots and onion and spread out in a single layer. Cook, tossing frequently with a large metal spatula, until the carrots start to soften slightly and the onion is transparent, about 3 minutes. Add the kimchi, mushrooms and zucchini and continue cooking, tossing often then spreading into a single layer, until the vegetables and kimchi release most of their liquid and start to brown slightly, about 5 minutes.
• Add the rice to the griddle, break it up with the back of the spatula and toss to combine with the vegetables. Pour the gochujang-butter sauce over the top and toss well until all the rice is coated. Spread into a single layer and cook, undisturbed, until the rice has absorbed most of the liquid, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the rice occasionally and continue cooking until it starts to crisp slightly, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to the low-heat side of the griddle. Crack the eggs on top and cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Divide the fried rice among 8 bowls, top each with a fried egg and some scallions, gim and sesame seeds.
