An innovative dish that transforms leftover sweet and sour pork by adding stir-fried kimchi and pizza cheese for a tangy, sweet, and richly savory flavor.
🙋 Recommended for
- ⭐ Those who want to revive soggy leftover sweet and sour pork from delivery meals stored in the fridge.
- ⭐ Those seeking a unique appetizer that perfectly blends the refreshing tang of kimchi with the rich creaminess of pizza cheese.
Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings
- leftover sweet and sour pork 1 serving
- fresh kimchi 1 cup
- onion 1/2
- bell pepper and paprika each 1/4
- mozzarella pizza cheese 150g
- ketchup 3 tablespoons
- sugar 2 tablespoons
- soy sauce 2 tablespoons
- water 1.5 cups
- cornstarch slurry a little
- vegetable oil 1 tablespoon
Recipe 🍳
- Cut onion, bell pepper, and paprika into large square pieces, similar to pizza toppings.
- Rinse the outer layer of the kimchi lightly under running water to reduce strong seasoning, then chop into bite-sized pieces.
- Reheat the soggy sweet and sour pork in an air fryer or pan to remove moisture and restore crispiness.
- Heat vegetable oil in a pan, then add the rinsed and chopped kimchi. Stir-fry until the spiciness and sourness mellow out.
- Once the kimchi is partially cooked, add the sliced onion and bell pepper, and stir-fry briefly to retain some crunch.
- Add water, then ketchup 3 tablespoons, sugar 2 tablespoons, and soy sauce 2 tablespoons to create a tangy-sweet base sauce. (If you have leftover sweet and sour pork sauce, you can substitute it.)
- When the sauce begins to boil vigorously, gradually add cornstarch slurry to thicken it to the consistency of sweet and sour pork sauce.
- Add the reheated crispy sweet and sour pork to the sauce pan and toss gently so the ingredients are lightly coated.
- Transfer the finished dish to a serving plate and generously sprinkle mozzarella pizza cheese on top. Melt the cheese using a microwave or oven until fully melted.
- Cut vegetables into squares and rinse/kimchi into small pieces.
- Reheat leftover sweet and sour pork, then stir-fry the rinsed kimchi and vegetables in order.
- Make sauce with water, ketchup, sugar, and soy sauce; bring to a boil, then adjust thickness with cornstarch slurry.
- Toss the sweet and sour pork in the sauce, place in a bowl, top with pizza cheese, and melt in the microwave.
Cooking tips 💡
- Rinsing the kimchi once helps prevent the spicy and sour flavors from clashing with the sweet and sour sauce and the rich taste of the cheese, ensuring a harmonious fusion flavor.
- Cover the dish or microwave for 1–2 minutes to allow the cheese to melt naturally from the heat of the hot pork.
