1/2 cup water

1 block of tofu

1/2 tbsp sesame oil

1 tbsp whole sesame seeds

Recipe

Heat a pan with cooking oil and add the sour kimchi, cut into bite-sized pieces.
Add 1 tbsp sugar to balance the sourness and enhance the savory flavor, then stir-fry until slightly golden.
Pour in 1/2 cup water for a moist texture, and simmer until about 1-2 spoonfuls of liquid remain.
When the liquid thickens, add the lightly drained tuna, stir-fry quickly over high heat for 10 seconds, then turn off the heat and drizzle with sesame oil.
Cut the tofu into bite-sized pieces and heat in the microwave for 2 minutes 30 seconds until warm.
Arrange the heated tofu on a plate, top with the stir-fried tuna kimchi, and finish with a sprinkle of whole sesame seeds.

In a pan with oil, stir-fry sour kimchi and sugar.
Pour in 1/2 cup water, simmer, then add tuna and stir-fry briefly over high heat, mixing in sesame oil.
Serve with heated tofu in a bowl, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and it's done.

Cooking tips

If you stir-fry the tuna too long, the fish meat will break apart and become dry, so add it at the end and stir-fry only briefly for a delicious result.
Simmering the kimchi in water yields a soft texture, like fully cooked steamed kimchi.
