3. 3 Add water, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
4. 4 Season with soy sauce to taste.
5. 5 Sprinkle with chopped green onions before removing from the heat.

With an appliance

• Microwave 30 min

  Replace step 3: transfer the mixture to a deep bowl with an open lid, and microwave at 800 W for 9 minutes; the dish isn't much faster, but it maintains a stable moisture level and doesn't need to be constantly monitored for boiling over. The kimchi sautéing in step 2 remains unchanged to retain its roasted flavor.
