Use well-fermented, sour kimchi for the best flavor. Adjust the sugar to your preference. Some prefer a sweeter fried kimchi, while others enjoy a more balanced flavor. For extra depth, add a pinch of gochugaru (Korean chili powder) during the sautéing process. Serve hot or cold. Garnish with sesame seeds or sliced green onions for an extra touch.
