WBTT (Way Before the Twins) were born, I used to galavant all over Koreatown devouring Korean BBQ, Kim Chee Fried Rice and Chap Chae with my peeps before our weekly karaoke outings. I get to K-Town when I can these days, but whenever I start craving garlicky, sour, spicy and sweet Korean flavors I whip up this dish which is incredibly easy and really flavorful. It’s great to have a jar of kim chee on hand in your fridge for this dish. Kim chee can be found at Asian markets. It varies terms of heat levels so depending on your heat-o-meter this dish can be mildy spicy to nuclear. Omit the red pepper flakes and stick to mild kim chee if making this dish for kids.
