Kimchi Omelet With Sriracha Syrup Recipes

The ingredient list is short and the cooking method quick and unfussy - so much so that this kimchi omelet doesn't seem like a restaurant recipe at all. But then you bite in. There is a delicate balance of flavors - sweet, salty, spicy - and textures - soft, crunchy, sticky - that only a skilled chef could so precisely devise. That the ingredients are not expensive and the technique not daunting only makes it more appealing. The premise is simple: you sauté chopped store-bought kimchi in a pan, then add beaten eggs. What elevates this from your standard brunch is the sriracha syrup, made from simmered rice vinegar and sugar spiked with thick red hot sriracha chili sauce (or any other hot sauce). Combined with the kimchi, there's just enough heat to make your tongue tingle but not burn. For that you can add more sriracha on the side if you like. Or serve it with more kimchi. It makes a hearty breakfast, an unusual lunch or a light dinner. And a simple one, too.
