Recipe information

  • Total Time

    50 minutes

  • Yield

    4 Servings

Ingredients

Porridge

1

cup spelt, wheat berries, or barley

Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper

1

ounce Parmesan, grated (about 1 cup)

2

tablespoons unsalted butter

Kimchi and Jammy Eggs

4

large eggs

1

tablespoon vegetable oil

1

cup Napa kimchi

Preparation

  1. Porridge

    Step 1

    Pulse spelt in a blender or food processor until coarsely chopped (all of the grains should be broken open but not ground to a powder). Combine spelt and 4 cups water in a large saucepan over medium-high; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, whisking occasionally, until spelt is tender and mixture is thick, 25–35 minutes. Whisk in Parmesan and butter. Add water by tablespoonfuls if needed to loosen.

  2. Kimchi and Jammy Eggs

    Step 2

    Just before porridge is done, cook eggs in a small saucepan of boiling water 6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl of ice water and let sit just until warm. Carefully peel and slice in half lengthwise.

    Step 3

    Heat oil in a small skillet over medium. Cook kimchi, tossing, just until slightly darkened and warmed through, about 1 minute.

    Step 4

    Divide grain porridge among bowls. Divide kimchi and eggs over top.

  • The parmesan helps get the porridge to the right consistency, but these flavors do not go together, in my opinion. The salt of the cheese stood out from the other flavors, rather than complimenting them. For me this would make more sense with steamed greens or spring vegetables like asparagus or ramps.
