Recipe information

  • Total Time

    15 minutes

  • Yield

Ingredients

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat large skillet until very hot. In a bowl, toss half of the kimchi with the sugar and vinegar and add it to the skillet. Cook over high heat until the liquid is thickened and sticky and the kimchi is browned in spots, 5 to 6 minutes. Let cool slightly.
