Amy Feldman's Kimchi Matzah Brei

Who says this isn’t Jewish?
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 5 minutes
Course Breakfast
Cuisine Jewish, Korean, Mash-Up
Servings 2

Ingredients
  

  • 1-2 onions sliced
  • 2 slices of matzah
  • 2-4 eggs
  • 6-8 ounces of kimchi cut into bite-sized pieces
  • fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Before you begin, take a look at Amy's notes below.
  • Fry the onions in olive oil in a small saucepan.
  • In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with a little water or milk.
  • Break the matzah into pieces, and add it to the eggs, coating evenly. Pour the matzah mixture over the fried onions in the pan. Scramble it up.
  • When the eggs are almost done, add the kimchi, and cook till the eggs are as cooked as you like them and the kimchi is heated through.
  • Top with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.

Notes

Matzah brei is comfort food, and amounts are all to taste. If you like your matzah brei more like scrambled eggs, use four eggs to two slices of matzah. If you like it more crunchy and less eggy, keep a one-to-one ratio. I love spicy foods, so I use two onions and eight ounces of kimchi, but if you don’t like super-spicy, cut back those amounts.
