POTATO AND GOCHUJANG BRAISED EGGS

Eggs are baked nestled inside a giant rösti with a crispy bottom here, a bit like an American breakfast of hash browns and eggs, all in one pan. If you’re not a fan of kohlrabi, feel free to use potato only, though we like the complexity that kohlrabi brings with it. Try to stick to ½cm batons for the vegetables and not grate them, because you won’t get the crispiness you’re after when they’re grated. You can achieve this using a sharp knife or, more conveniently, with a mandolin or a food processor with the appropriate attachment. Prep the vegetables just before you cook them, so they don’t get soggy.Try to source good-quality gochujang, a Korean fermented chilli paste (see more on p. 18), and not the generic supermarket brands. It makes all the difference

Uh-oh! We're unable to calculate nutrition for this recipe because some ingredients aren't recognized.

Step 1

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F/200°C fan. Lightly grease a round 12-inch/30cm ovenproof baking dish or nonstick sauté pan, for which you have a lid, or a similar-size round ovenproof dish, and transfer it to the oven to heat for 5 minutes.

Step 2

2. In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, kohlrabi, gochujang, miso paste, garlic, olive oil, and ¼ tsp salt and toss until thoroughly coated (this is easiest with gloved hands). Remove the pan from the oven, tip in the potato mixture, and spread out evenly. Bake for 25 minutes, uncovered, rotating the pan halfway through, until golden brown and crisp on top.

Step 3

3. Make eight wells in the potato mixture with the back of a spoon. Crack an egg into each hole, then cover the pan with the lid and return to the oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the whites are cooked and the yolks are still runny. Check for doneness after 8 minutes and every minute thereafter—the exact timing will depend on your oven and pan. Use a small spoon to carefully peel away the white film that has formed over the eggs, if you like, to reveal the yolks beneath. Season with a little salt.

Step 4

4. For the sauce: In a small bowl, combine the lime juice, gochujang, olive oil, chives, and sesame seeds and stir to mix.
