Main Ingredients- 1/2 head of Kimchi (well-fermented kimchi recommended)
- 1 can (340g) Spam
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, in a preheated pan or pot, add 2 tablespoons of sesame oil to bring out its nutty aroma. Once the fragrant scent of sesame oil begins to subtly spread, it’s ready for the next ingredients.
Step 2
Chop the kimchi into bite-sized pieces, about 1-1.5 cm wide. Using well-fermented, slightly sour kimchi will significantly enhance the stir-fry’s savory flavor. Add half of the chopped kimchi to the pan and stir-fry it.
Step 3
As the kimchi starts to cook, add 1 tablespoon of sugar to neutralize the sourness and balance the overall taste. If your kimchi is very sour, feel free to increase the sugar amount slightly.
Step 4
Next, add 1 tablespoon of gochugaru (Korean chili flakes) for a spicy kick and vibrant color. If you prefer a spicier taste, you can adjust the amount of gochugaru to your liking.
Step 5
Once the kimchi seasoning is somewhat combined, it’s time to add the star ingredient: Spam. Open the can of Spam and chop it into small, bite-sized pieces, similar in size to the kimchi. While larger pieces are also delicious, dicing it finely allows the kimchi and seasoning to penetrate better, resulting in a more harmonious flavor. Add the chopped Spam to the pan and stir-fry it evenly with the kimchi.
Step 6
After all the ingredients are well stir-fried and the seasoning is blended, finish by sprinkling a pinch of sesame seeds for added nuttiness. Lightly crushing the sesame seeds before sprinkling will enhance their aroma.
Step 7
Once you can smell the delicious aroma of kimchi and spam, and the ingredients are cooked through, your tasty Kimchi Spam Stir-fry is complete! Serve it over warm rice for a perfect meal that’s hard to resist. Ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed in the pan and have a glossy sheen as you finish cooking.
