This is a simple dish you can finish in 20 minutes using the microwave instead of an oven. The addition of kimchi cuts through the richness of the cheese, and stir-frying the vegetables to cook off excess moisture keeps the bread from getting soggy. It makes a great snack for kids or a quick, easy meal.

1. Chop all the ingredients finely. You can cut them to whatever size you prefer.
2. Here are the 2 slices of sliced bread and the pizza cheese (shredded mozzarella).
3. Toast the sliced bread in a heated dry pan until lightly browned on both sides.
4. Grease a heated pan with cooking oil and stir-fry the kimchi and onion. If using aged sour kimchi, add a little sugar and stir-fry over medium heat.
Once the onion turns translucent and the kimchi has softened...
5. Add the rest of the vegetables and stir-fry.

Stir-frying them like this beforehand is great because it keeps the pizza from turning soggy.
