Notes

This is a Korean-ish dish taking traditional ham hash and making it with Korean fermented red Kimchi and seasoning. Recipe shared with me by a Korean friend who loves this dish.
Can serve with a fried egg on top, but I chose not to so I could taste the dish as is.
This is also a great way to eat older Kimchi, or older potatoes that may be soft.
