In this article, we'll explore the benefits of adding protein and collagen to your Kimchi Fried Rice and how to create a delicious and nutritious meal that's not only satisfying but also supports your overall well-being and gut health.
The Power of Protein and Collagen
Protein is an essential component of a balanced diet, contributing to muscle repair, immune function, and satiety. Collagen, on the other hand, is a protein that plays a crucial role in maintaining the health of your skin, hair, nails, and joints. By incorporating both protein and collagen into your Kimchi Fried Rice, you're not only enhancing the nutritional value of your meal but also supporting your body's various functions.
The Recipe: Kimchi Fried Rice with a Protein and Collagen Boost
Here's how you can create gut health boosting, protein and collagen-rich version of Kimchi Fried Rice using Peptigen+:
Ingredients:
- 1 small jar of Kimchi
- 1 pouch of Wholegrain rice
- 2 eggs
- Spring onions to garnish
- 10g Peptigen+
Instructions:
-
In a bowl, mix 10g of Peptigen+ with the entire jar of Kimchi. This step adds a protein and collagen boost to your kimchi mixture, enriching both the flavour and nutritional content of your dish.
-
Heat a pan over medium heat and give it a light spritz of cooking spray. Add the kimchi mixture to the pan, allowing the flavours to develop.
-
Introduce the wholegrain rice to the pan, breaking it down and mixing it thoroughly with the kimchi mixture. The addition of Peptigen+ ensures that you're getting an extra dose of protein and collagen with every bite.
-
To further infuse your rice with flavour and nutrients, pour in the remaining Kimchi juices from the jar. Allow the rice to cook in the pan for a few minutes, absorbing the essence of the kimchi.
-
While the rice is cooking, fry your eggs sunny side up to your preferred level of 'doneness'. If you're aiming to reduce calories, consider poaching the eggs as a healthier alternative.
-
Chop some fresh spring onions to use as a garnish. Spring onions not only add a pop of colour and freshness to your dish but also contribute a subtle yet delightful flavour.
-
Once the rice is cooked to perfection, portion it into serving bowls. Top each bowl with a sunny side up egg and garnish with the chopped spring onions.
