Korean-Inspired Eggs: A Flavorful Delicacy
Ed Smith presents a delectable dish that draws inspiration from Korean kimchi jjigae. The eggs are brimming with flavor, complemented by the chewy texture of rice cakes known as tteok. This convenient meal can be enjoyed on its own or paired with rice or bread, making it a versatile choice for any occasion.
Aromatic Pork Laab: A Fusion of Flavors
Smith also takes us on a culinary journey with his aromatic pork laab. Traditionally made with minced meat or fish, he ingeniously transforms sausage meat into a laab filling. The laab is nestled in soft brioche buns and topped with a crispy fried egg. Its tantalizing aroma, a blend of lemongrass, ginger, and Thai basil, will tantalize your taste buds.
Additional Culinary Inspirations
For those seeking further culinary adventures, Smith suggests using minced beef or chopped chicken livers instead of sausage meat in the laab. The laab and fried egg can also be enjoyed with rice or flatbreads instead of the burger bun.
Fragrant Omelette and Salad: A Refreshing Delight
Smith also shares a fragrant omelette and side salad duo that will invigorate your senses. The vegetables can be roasted in advance and served at room temperature, while the herbs should be added just before serving for maximum freshness. The omelette is prepared with a blend of coconut milk, spices, and herbs, creating a rich and flavorful dish.
Serving Suggestions
The omelette and salad can be served with a dollop of coconut or Greek-style yoghurt for an extra touch of creaminess. Consider pairing them with flaky paratha or roti for a complete meal experience.
