Kimchi is a versatile ingredient that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. It can be eaten as a side dish, used in soups and stews, or even stir-fried. When stir-fried, the heat from the pan toasts the peppers in the kimchi, giving it a rich, slightly smoky aroma and flavor. Adding bacon, spam, or canned tuna to the stir-fry adds additional flavor and protein, making it a more complete and satisfying meal.
