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.
