CORNED BEEF KIMCHI FRIED RICE

There's nothing quite as deeply and profoundly flavorful as caramelizing fermented foods, which is why you've got to try this kimchi fried rice and top it with 2 poached or fried eggs; the runny yolk will mix into and moisten the rice, taking this to a whole other level. The poached egg also paired quite nicely with my 'landweed' garnish, some fresh nasturtium from my garden, as it does with the much more traditional shredded seaweed.

KIMCHI CORNED BEEF

Instead of the same old corned beef and cabbage recipe every year, try this new and exciting Korean twist on the St. Patrick's Day staple. The spicy fermented cabbage adds a lot of extra savoriness, not only to the meat, but even more so to the vegetables. The potatoes especially soak up a surprising amount of flavor, and may be my favorite part of the whole dish. Garnish with sliced green onions.

Time 3h5m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 (3 1/2) pound ready-to-cook corned beef
2 (16 ounce) jars kimchi, not drained
½ cup cold water, or as needed
2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, quartered
3 large carrots, cut into large chunks
2 ribs celery, cut into large chunks

Steps:

Pour 1 jar of kimchi into a pot. Top with corned beef and cover with the second jar of kimchi. Pour in water. Cover and bring to a simmer over high heat. Reduce heat to low. Cook, covered, until fork-tender, 2 to 3 hours. Flip over the beef occasionally and drape kimchi back on top.
Remove corned beef to a bowl. Bring kimchi mixture back to a simmer over high heat. Add potatoes, carrots, and celery. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until almost tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Reduce heat to low and add beef back in. Cover and cook on low until meat is heated through, about 15 minutes. Taste the broth and add water as needed.
Slice corned beef thinly and serve in a bowl with the vegetables; spoon some broth on top.

Tips:

Choose the right corned beef: Look for a brisket or flat cut that is well-marbled and has a good amount of fat. This will help the corned beef stay moist and flavorful during the cooking process.
Don't overcook the corned beef: Corned beef is a tough cut of meat, so it needs to be cooked low and slow. Overcooking will make it tough and dry.
Add flavor to the cooking liquid: To add extra flavor to the corned beef, you can add vegetables, spices, and herbs to the cooking liquid. Some popular additions include carrots, onions, garlic, bay leaves, and peppercorns.
Use the cooking liquid to make gravy: The cooking liquid from the corned beef is full of flavor, so it's a great base for gravy. Simply strain the liquid and thicken it with a cornstarch or flour slurry.
Serve the corned beef with your favorite sides: Corned beef is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides. Some popular choices include potatoes, cabbage, carrots, and bread.
