Green Beans and Farro with Gochujang Butter
 
 
Sticky spicy green beans and farro with gochujang butter and topped with a fried egg.
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients
  • ¼ cup gochujang
  • ¼ cup rice vinegar
  • 2 garlic cloves, grated
  • 2-inches of ginger, grated
  • 1.5 lb green beans, trimmed
  • 3½ cups water
  • 1 cup farro
  • 3 tbsp neutral oil
  • 4 large eggs
  • salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp butter
Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the gochujang, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger. Set aside.
  2. Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the green beans and cook, tossing once or twice, until charred in places. Add water, farro, and the gochujang mixture. Bring to a boil and then lower to a simmer. Cover and cook on low until the beans are tender and the grains are cooked, about 40 minutes, stirring occasionally, adding water as needed.
  3. When the beans and grains have about 5 minutes to go, heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Crack 4 eggs into the skillet and cook without moving them until the edges are golden brown and starting to crisp, about 2 minutes. Tilt the pan toward you and scoop up some of the hot oil with a spoon. Pour it over the uncooked whites. Repeat until the whites are completely set. Season to taste with salt and black pepper and remove from the heat.
  4. Add the butter to the green bean-grain mixture and stir to combine. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
  5. Divide the green bean-grain mixture among serving bowls. Top each with a fried egg.
