The Korean Vegan

Bread and Breakfast

Kimchi Omelet with Pinole Blue Tortillas

“Who is the current president of the United States?” George Bush. Who is the first president of the United States? George Washington. How many states are in the United States? Fifty.I was sitting on the my grandmother’s bed, quizzing her for her upcoming Us citizenship test. Hanging on the wall behind her was the picture I’d drawn for her years before—a tree branch laden with persimmons. My grandmother loved persimmons. Hahlmuhnee was a refugee from North Korea and for her, safety meant growing your own food, so wherever we lived, she planted a garden. We always had chilis, perilla leaves, corn, tomatoes, squash. Looking at my mom’s face, the faces of my aunt, uncle, cousins, my brother, I liked to think that even though she never got around to planting a persimmon tree, that in some ways, she cultivated something even sweeter than the rubied fruit of her homeland.  One of the final things my 82 year old grandmother did before she died was to plant her roots here in the US by earning her right to vote as an American citizen. 

My friends over at Pinole Blue–a small family owned business that makes tortilla out of the legendary “pinole” featured in Born to Run–sent me over some tortillas. I was immediately inspired to try my take on the “breakfast tacos” that was featured on their TikTok.

I used JUSTEgg, of course, for the egg part, and it turned out rather beautifully. The caramelized kimchi tasted so good with the egg and the tortillas.

Quick Tips

  • If you want an easy way to grate cheese, throw your regular non-dairy cheese slices into the freezer. When they are frozen into a big block, thaw them for about 5 minutes. They are then the perfect consistency for grating.
  • Allow the JUSTEgg to cook by pulling the liquid from the edges with a wooden spoon or chopsticks.

Kimchi Omelet with Pinole Blue Tortillas

Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup kimchi
  • 1 scallion (chopped)
  • 1 tsp sweetener
  • 4 tbsp grated non-dairy cheese
  • 1/2 container JUSTEgg
  • 1 1/2 slice non-dairy cheese
  • 4 pinole blue tortilla

Instructions
 

  • Add olive oil and sesame oil to a sautee pan. When the oil is hot, add kimchi and scallions. Cook until the kimchi begins to soften (around 3 minutes).
  • Deglaze the pan with sweetener. Add grated cheese and then the JUSTEgg.
  • Place slices of more cheese over the JUSTEgg mixture and then top that gently with a tortilla.
  • Gently pull the edges of the JUSTEgg from the pan and when it is nearly cooked, flip the omelet, so that it is tortilla side down.
  • Add more grated cheese over the omelet.
  • Add 1 whole tortilla over the middle of the omelet. Add tortilla halves around the edges, so that the entire omelet is now covered in tortilla.
  • Slice into 4 pieces and serve.

The Korean Vegan, Esq.
I have been debating sharing this story for a very I have been debating sharing this story for a very long time. Partly because it remains one of my unhappiest memories, but also because I don’t want to make my ex-husband out to be a villain—he was a good man who just had trouble dealing with his emotions. But the moment I recount in this sharing is one of the most powerful, pivotal moments of my life, which is why it remains so vivid and painful.  I thought about whether I should share it this morning while walking Rudy and as we turned the corner into the driveway of our building and Rudy began snuffling along the brick facade, I concluded that there are too many of you—whether you are a woman or not—who need to hear this story.  It wasn’t just about needing to exit my situation, it was also the struggle of believing I was a fraud. I remember the following day, I wrote down in my journal, “I am a sham.  Just like the sham corporations I deal with at work.” I hated the fact that I faced the world as a lawyer, but inside my home, I was so weak. I have always said that more than anything in the world, I want to be a “strong woman,” and for 18 years, I felt I was only pretending to be one. I now realize that “strength” is not something that can be measured by some standard you read about or see on the Lifetime Channel.  Whether and when I decided to stop protecting my marriage and start protecting myself is not up for judgment. Each person has their own unique reckoning, but perhaps as that man on the bike did for me, I can help you see that you are worth the reckoning.
