Sesame Stir-Fried Pork with Shiitakes
Pork tenderloin and kimchi headline this stir-fry, but fresh shiitake mushrooms and a full bunch of scallions add to its umami-rich appeal. For a meatless alternative, substitute a 14-ounce container of extra-firm tofu, drained and cut in 1-inch cubes, for the pork.

Awesome flavor but needs a sauce
This recipe had great flavor but I wish there had been some sauciness to it. I ended up topping it with some Thai sweet chili sauce. If I make it again I will cut back on the kimchi because it was very spicy. Bonus for being a FAST meal to cook without a thousand ingredients.

Flavor bomb
We love this. Quick and easy to make. Absolute flavor bomb. Yum
With modifications: Mirin: Sake with sugar, Cauliflower kimchi with radish kimchi and possibly that caused it to be barely palatable. I will put this dish in my do not make list.

Could you use dried shitakes for this if in a pinch for this kimchi flavor bomb?
