Cooking tips 💡

• Mashing frozen dumplings into the dish like an all-purpose garnish adds rich flavor without needing to prepare pork or vegetables separately.
• If the kimchi is very sour, slightly increase the sugar to balance the sourness and savory depth.
• Rather than frying until completely dry, stir-fry the rice while the liquid is still moist to achieve a tender, clingy texture.
