Pork And Kimchi Stir-Fry

My husband spent a year in Korea a few years back through his career in the Army. He would always tell me stories about the food that he tasted while over there. One of the most famous food Korea is known for is kimchi. They have all sorts of kimichi dishes there in Korea. Kimchi are not just eaten as side dishes. Sometimes people would incorporate kimchi into meat items to create a dish out of it.

One in particular is the pork and kimchi combination. I did my own version of it and wished for the best. I was afraid it was going to be so hot and spicy that we wouldn’t be able to eat the dish but my version turned out ok.
