What can I make Kim Chee with?

Question

I bought a jar of some kim chee, and after trying it from straight out of the jar, I realize it needs something. What can I mix with it to make a low calorie/low fat delicious meal?

Answer 1

Kimchi Fried Rice

Ingredients:

1 cup kimchi,

1/2 sweet onion, chopped

1 Tbsp finely chopped garlic

1 Tbsp soy sauce

1 Tbsp butter

1/3 cup thinly sliced beef, spam, pork, bacon, or ham

3 cups cooked rice

Salt to taste

1 Fried egg for each serving

Preparation:

If using American bacon, saute briefly on an ungreased large pan and omit oil from next step. With any other meat or a vegetarian version, start with step #2.

Saute kimchi and onion in a lightly greased large pan over medium heat for a few minutes.

When vegetables begin to look transparent, add ½ Tbsp of butter, garlic, and soy sauce and saute for another 2-3 minutes.

Add meat or pork and continue to saute until meat is cooked.

Turn heat off but keep pan on burner.

Add rice and rest of butter, mixing to combine.

Salt to taste and top with fried egg to serve.

Answer 2

That kimchi fried rice recipe looks good, but try adding seafood instead of meat.  And kimchi soup with seafood and cubes of tofu is good.  

Answer 3

What I like to do is this.

1. Get a block of extra firm tofu and cut into 5-6 slices, width-wise.

2. Fry each thin block in just 2-3 teaspoons of sesame oil in medium-low heat.

3. Cook each side until golden.

4. Heat up the kimchi in a pot (whatever amount you like).

5. Serve kimchi in a bowl and add a thin block or two of fried tofu.

6. Enjoy. :)
