Kimchi Omelette

A few years ago I was introduced to the concept of the kimchi toastie (or kimchi cheese) and I have to say it became a bit of an obsession and definite guilty pleasure of sorts.
Then about a year ago I decided to go clean on diet - meaning avoiding gluten aka bread and all dairy, which to my heavy heart includes cheese of course. A huge cheese lover since I can remember myself, it’s been a challenge to maintain this when traveling and eating out, but at home I just don’t buy it, and so it works quite well. No more making kimchi toasties in the evenings watching netflix these days, and my gut has that to thank me for I’m sure.
These days I eat veg veg veg plus some good quality animal protein, and legumes. I was never an adept cook in asian recipes and so I wondered how I could include this super healing fermented food in my diet.
Until I found this recipe which brings this asian staple into regular western cuisine and gives it a wonderful kick.
Ingredients
For two portions.
4 eggs (organic pasture-raised / free-range)
1/2 cup kimchi chopped
1 shallot finely chopped
olive oil
salt
Process
Beat the eggs in a bowl, add half the chopped kimchi, salt and pepper to taste.
Gently heat a little olive oil in a non-stick pan and add the shallot, cook for 1min.
Add the egg & kimchi mixture into the pan and let cook for a few minutes.
Using a wooden or silicon spatula make holes in the parts that are super wet so that they get cooked as they touch the bottom of the pan. Do this all over the omelet until there are no runny parts.
When the whole omelet is cooked add the remaining kimchi in the centre, and using the spatula lift one of the sides of the omelet and fold over the other half making a half moon shape.
Transfer to a plate and sprinkle over some chopped coriander.
