This Man's Cook Spam Kimchi Stir-fry
A savory side dish that maximizes umami by stir-frying fresh kimchi in the rich, golden oil from grilled spam, with just a hint of fermented soybean paste for depth and richness.
Ingredients needed 3 servings

Cooking tips
- Remove some of the excess seasoning from the kimchi before stir-frying to avoid a messy, overly salty result and ensure a cleaner, more refined taste.
- The 0.5 tablespoon of doenjang added during seasoning softens the sharpness of the fresh kimchi while adding a rich, complex depth of flavor.
- Cook over high heat until all moisture evaporates and the sauce clings tightly to the ingredients—this ensures the seasoning penetrates deeply into every piece of kimchi.
- Since spam is already salty, skip adding soy sauce and rely on squid sauce, a touch of gochujang, and doenjang to build a full, savory umami profile.
Recommended for
- Those who want to make the best rice side dish using leftover fresh kimchi and canned ham.
- People who enjoy a sweet-and-sour flavor with deep umami richness in their stir-fried kimchi.
- Anyone looking for a hearty, long-lasting side dish or lunchbox staple.
