Quick & Easy Home Meal Recipe for Teens: Flying Fish Roe Rice with Kimchi and Carrots
My son, who has a big appetite and loves to eat, mentioned he hadn’t had flying fish roe rice in a while. I quickly ordered some for early morning delivery and whipped up this delicious bowl using stir-fried kimchi and carrots I already had. I usually don’t expect him to eat rice in the mornings as he often opts for fruit or salad, but I was happy to make this on short notice.
Ingredients- 50g flying fish roe
- 1 bowl warm cooked rice
- 30g stir-fried kimchi
- A little carrot
- 1 packet seasoned seaweed (Gim), olive oil
- 0.5 Tbsp sesame oil
- A pinch of toasted sesame seeds
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Using scissors, finely chop the kimchi. Adjust the amount of kimchi based on its saltiness and flavor.
Step 2
Finely mince the carrot. Heat a little olive oil in a pan and stir-fry the minced carrot until tender. This process enhances the carrot’s natural sweetness and improves nutrient absorption, making it more appealing even to picky eaters.
Step 3
Prepare 50g of fresh flying fish roe.
Step 4
To remove any fishy odor, soak the flying fish roe in 1 tablespoon of cooking wine (like Cheongju) or Mirin for about 5 minutes. This step helps to bring out its delicate flavor.
Step 5
Gently drain the flying fish roe using a fine-mesh sieve. Be careful not to break the individual roe to maintain their texture.
Step 6
Mix 0.5 tablespoon of sesame oil into the drained flying fish roe. This adds a wonderful aroma. Once the roe is ready, the dish is almost complete!
Step 7
Assemble the bowl by layering the prepared ingredients on top of the warm cooked rice. Place the rice in a bowl and artfully arrange the stir-fried kimchi, sautéed carrots, and flying fish roe.
Step 8
The colorful toppings of flying fish roe, kimchi, and carrots piled high on the fluffy white rice look incredibly appetizing.
Step 9
Finally, add the stir-fried kimchi for a refreshing taste that balances any richness. The finely chopped kimchi cuts through any gaminess, and the sweet sautéed carrots are a secret weapon for kids. For an extra touch, crumble the seasoned seaweed over the top and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds!
