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.
