Cooking tips 💡

• Microwaving tomatoes for 1 minute increases nutrient absorption in the body and helps the seasoning penetrate better.
• Avoid mixing tomatoes from the start as they easily break down; instead, mix vegetables into the seasoning first, then gently fold in the tomatoes at the end.
• Adding sesame oil may dull the fresh umami flavor typical of kimchi, so it’s best to avoid it.
