Introducing Whitney, our new Marketing Coordinator

Introducing Whitney, our new Marketing Coordinator of Vetri Community Partnership! Here are some fun facts about Whitney:

• If she were a vegetable, she would be a shishito pepper because she's mostly sweet, but likes to add a bit of spice here and there!

• A life accomplishment that she's most proud of is the garden she built in her backyard. She's been using it to grow vegetables for two years now.

• One of her favorite things to cook is ramen with fresh garlic, ginger, and scallion paste, miso, and lots of veggies!

Please join us in welcoming Whitney in the comments! Check out her full bio on our website (link in bio.)

Kimchi Fried Rice. This recipe celebrates the beautifully complex and deep flavors of kimchi. It's savory, tangy, and has a little bit of spice and works great as a side dish or as the star of the show. If you try this recipe out, don't forget to tag us! We love to see what everyone is cooking up in their kitchens. 😋

What you'll need:

• 1 Tablespoon canola oil
• 1⁄2 medium head cauliflower, grated or minced
• 1 large or 2 medium carrots, grated
• 1 bell pepper, minced
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1-1inch piece of fresh ginger, grated
• 4 scallions, thinly sliced and green tops separated
• 1 cup packed kimchi, chopped
• 3 cups cold leftover white rice
• 2 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 cup frozen peas
Optional add ons:
• 4 eggs, scrambled or fried
• 1 Tablespoon Kimchi liquid for more heat
• 2 teaspoons soy sauce or tamari

Instructions:

1. Add canola oil to skillet over medium- high heat. Add the cauliflower, carrots, and bell pepper, and sauté until the vegetables shrink and start to brown, 5-7 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, and scallion whites and sauté until fragrant, one minute more.

2. Mix in kimchi and sauté 2-3 minutes. Add the rice and scallion greens and stir well to combine all ingredients. Let the rice and vegetables fry for a minute, stir, and repeat until the rice is very hot and starts to crisp a little. Taste and adjust as desired, adding kimchi liquid for heat or soy sauce for salt.

3. Drizzle the sesame oil over the fried rice and toss to combine just before serving.

4. For the eggs: Transfer the rice to a bowl and heat the skillet over medium high. Add 1 teaspoon of canola oil. Add the eggs and quickly scramble before adding the rice back to the skillet. Toss to warm and combine, and serve.

5. Cool leftovers to room temperature and refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Here at Vetri Community Partnership, we do more than just teach kids how to cook. We give them a safe space to explore and connect through hands-on culinary and nutrition education. While we love to see kids making Vetri Cooking Lab recipes at home, we realize that connecting with friends, peers, and family over meals and trying new things they would never imagine trying is just as important!
