    This is a great combination but the flavors are more dull than expected. I used cabbage, which I charred after the ground pork and removed from the pan before adding the kimchi and aromatics. I added fish sauce to bump it up and realized afterwards that oyster sauce would be perfect, along with cooking down the kimchi as J. Kenji Lopez-Alt suggests in The Wok. I’m likely to repeat this with these changes.

    Subbed in cabbage for Bok choy and it was great.

    Had left over tofu I needed to use up, and ended up cooking this. It's quick and easy. We added more pork as all we could get was 1 lb of ground pork, but in the end it came out fine.

    I liked this dish, it sounded very exotic when I read it, but it’s really a simple, homey 30-min meal. I stayed true to the recipe except for the bok choy, which I omitted. And I used unsalted bacon bits because bacon and kimchee is delicious.

    I adjusted the ingredient proportions a bit - used 1/2 lb ground pork and almost 1 lb baby bok choy. Next time I'll cut the bok choy into smaller pieces to enable it to cook faster and to make the pieces more bite-sized. I was happy with more greens and thought there was plenty of meat. My chili oil wasn't that hot, so we actually added more spice. I also used regular soy sauce and did not find it too salty at all (maybe due to the extra greens). It was very good with rice, and also very quick and easy to prepare.
