Toast with Ramp Kimchi and Poached Eggs
You Will Need:
4 SERVINGS
- 1 bunch ramps (about 5 ounces) or 2 bunches scallions, white and green parts separated
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons gochugaru (coarse Korean hot pepper powder) or 1 teaspoon mild chile flakes (such as New Mexico)
- ½ teaspoon fish sauce
- ½ teaspoon grated peeled ginger
- 4 slices of bread, toasted, buttered
- 4 Perfect Poached Eggs
Instructions:
Cut ramp bulbs in half (quarter if large). Slice greens into 1″ pieces. Give ramp bulbs and greens, salt, and sugar a good toss in a medium bowl. Let sit until greens are slightly softened and begin to release a little liquid, about 1 hour. Mix gochugaru, fish sauce, and ginger into kimchi.
Spread kimchi over toast and top each with a poached egg.
Do Ahead: Ramp kimchi can be made 2 weeks ahead. Cover and chill. Kimchi will mellow slightly over time.
