How to Make Stir-Fried Kimchi Everyone Will Love

Kimchi, a Salted and Fermented Food

Kimchi is a salted and fermented vegetable food made by salting vegetables such as napa cabbage, radish, and cucumber, then mixing them with seasonings including chili pepper, green onion, garlic, and ginger. People need to eat vegetables rich in vitamins and minerals, but unlike grains, vegetables are difficult to store. They can be preserved by drying, but this causes them to lose their original flavor and nutrients. This led to the development of foods made by salting vegetables. Kimchi, the most representative of these foods, is famous worldwide.

Stir-Fried Kimchi Loved by All Ages

Kimchi can be prepared in various ways. One of the most popular dishes is stir-fried kimchi, made by frying well-fermented kimchi. Stir-fried kimchi is often used in pork belly dishes. Loved by people of all ages, it offers a different flavor from ordinary kimchi because it is fried in a pan with perilla oil. Frying kimchi with perilla oil reduces its spiciness, making it easier for young children and older adults alike to enjoy.
