Recipe

Firmly pack sour kimchi to measure 1 cup, cut into bite-sized pieces, and place in a pot or pan.
Pour in 4 tbsp kimchi liquid or 1/2 cup water.
Add 1.5 tbsp sugar and 1 tsp beef dashida, then turn on the heat.
Stir-fry over medium-high heat, simmering until the liquid reduces and the kimchi stems become translucent.
When the liquid is almost gone, drizzle a little cooking oil for gloss, then turn off the heat.

Add kimchi liquid, sugar, and dashida to the cut sour kimchi.
Stir-fry while reducing the liquid until the kimchi becomes translucent.
Finish by drizzling a little cooking oil for gloss.

Cooking tips

If the kimchi isn't very sour, add a little vinegar to enhance the tangy flavor.
For stir-fried kimchi that will be stored for a long time, use cooking oil instead of sesame oil to prevent rancid odors.
