Kimchi Bokkeum (Kimchi Stirfry)
One of my favorite dishes from childhood.
Serve it over or with steamed rice and finish if you'd like with a little drizzle of toasted sesame oil.
As with any good stir fry, super high heat and small quantities cooked quickly produce the best results.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Season the pork with the salt. I purposely add only a little salt to the meat because the kimchi is pretty darned salty, as we all know.
- 2
In a large wok or skillet, heat about 2 teaspoonfuls of oil over medium high to high heat and wait until it's so hot that it starts to smoke. If you look closely, you can somewhat sorta see that the oil's so hot it's rippling.
- 3
Stir fry the meat in two equal batches, adding oil to the second batch, until the meat is cooked through and browned on both sides. Because these slices of pork are a little big for regular stir fry, you may want to let them sit on the cooking surface for a minute or so to give them a nice sear before you start stirring.
Set aside the cooked pork.
- 4
Now add 2 Tablespoons of oil to the wok or skillet and let it heat up again before adding the onions, green onions and kimchi.
Keep the heat on high as you stir fry these components until the onions start to become translucent.
- 5
Once the onions are translucent, remove the wok from the heat and make a well in the center where you'll add 1 Tablespoon of oil and, if you like, a half Tablespoon of butter.
- 6
Put all the seasoning components into the well and return the wok to the heat.
Stir to incorporate all the seasoning ingredients and wait until you see the gochujang bubbling a bit - this is when the sugars start to caramelize.
- 7
When the seasoning sauce has been bubbling for 20 to 30 seconds, stir in the veg and then the cooked pork along with whatever juices come with it.
Add in 1 to 2 teaspoons of toasted sesame oil for flavor at this point if you like.
Give it a few good stirs to make sure all the flavors are evenly distributed, and there ya have it - kimchi bokkeum.

Jae Yook Bokk GeumStir Fry Kimchi and Pork Belly Jae Yook Bokk GeumStir Fry Kimchi and Pork Belly
This is one way of using old, sour kimchi. In all Korean households, Napa cabbage kimchi is always available. Unlike other kimchi, it is very versatile. Besides being a favorite side dish that goes well with all entrees, when it becomes too sour to be used as side dish, it can be used to make kimchi jjigae (kimchi stew), kimchi soup or this entree: jjae yook bokk geum. None of it goes to waste.

Pork Belly and Kimchi Stir Fry Pork Belly and Kimchi Stir Fry
【 youtu.be/RQWCpgLuAmU 】Pork Belly and Kimchi Stir fry is a filling dish, can be made for both lunch and dinner with a small touch of spice within it. I definitely recommend it and is certainly eaten by many Koreans who love a balanced meal with meat and small hint of vegetables. If you cant finish the entire dish you can always save it for later and can be easily eaten with toast and melted cheese for the next day, breakfast or lunch. My daughters certainly enjoy it with some melted cheese on a crunchy toast and sometimes there is not enough for the next day- they already finished it on the same day for dinner!

Kimchi Sweet Vinegar Stir Fry with Shrimp and Eggplant Kimchi Sweet Vinegar Stir Fry with Shrimp and Eggplant
I used eggplants in season and shrimp in a stir fry with sweet-salty-spicy vinegar sauce with kimchi. It works as a drinking appetizer too.1. The kimchi sweet vinegar sauce is tastier if it's on the sweet side. Also, by adding gochujang it becomes very rich.2. This is also delicious made with other seafood (squid, octopus etc.) Recipe by Karun

I love stir-fried kimchi pork and cellophane noodles, so I just came up with the idea to combine them.The spiciness will vary according to the kimchi you use, but you can adjust with doubanjiang I add 2 teaspoons to make it really spicy.If the Chinese cabbage kimchi is quite big, cut it into bite-sized pieces Rehydrate the noodles according to the package instructions. It's easy if you cut them with scissors whilst they are still in the sieve. Recipe by rie-tin -

Stir-fried Pork and Kimchi Udon Noodles with Poached Egg Stir-fried Pork and Kimchi Udon Noodles with Poached Egg
I added udon noodles to stir-fried pork and kimchi (which I love) to create a stir-fried udon noodle dish. It's topped with a poached egg, another of my favorites.It's better not to cook green onion for too long. If you can't get frozen udon noodles, just use ready-cooked or dried ones. I like using garlic chives with this dish. It's especially delicious if you mix in a soft-poached egg, so definitely try it out. Recipe by Bananazakuro -
Kimchi Fried Rice | Kimchi Bokkeumbap Kimchi Fried Rice | Kimchi Bokkeumbap
One of my InstaFam, @rentalman2, suggested that I make Kimchi Fried Rice with the homemade Kimchi. He told me that this is one of this favorite food. To be honest, I am not a fan of rice (yes, I know I should be banished or outcast from my Asian society for saying that), but I am so glad that I decided to take his advice and give it a shot.As much as I know, overnight cooked rice is the best for making any fried rice. Don't worry, no colander. Just using a rice cooker to cook the rice. If you like rice and you are not Asian, please do yourself a favor, go get a rice cooker. It is very affordable. You can also cook any rice with ease without any draining or washing rice in a colander. LOL!I am not using any wok for this recipe because I know most non-Asians do not own any wok in their kitchen. But most people at least have a skillet or a pan right? As shown in my recipe video, there isn't any fancy tossing too. I am showing you how to get it done properly as simply as I can. If you are a vegan, you can leave the egg out. If not, you can top your kimchi fried rice with a sunny side up or even a fried egg. Anyway, I hope you will give this recipe a try and let's hope Uncle Roger approves this.

Kimchi Fried Rice with Egg (Kimchi Bokkeumbap) Kimchi Fried Rice with Egg (Kimchi Bokkeumbap)
I found a kimchi I really like. Instead of just eating it with rice or noodles, try making fried rice or fried noodles with it. It’s a simple dish that’s full of flavor and satisfaction. After work, when I’m hungry, I just want something quick and tasty. Grab some ready-made kimchi, stir-fry it with rice, and you’re good to go. It’s really convenient.
