This special snack tops pizza dough with stir-fried kimchi to cut through the richness and add a spicy kick. Stir-frying very sour kimchi with a bit of sugar to make it slightly sweet and cooking off all the moisture makes it pair even better with pizza dough.

1. The kimchi is stir-fried. Finely dice the ham, onion, and bell pepper.
2. Shake off the seasonings from the kimchi and prepare the stem parts.
If the kimchi is very sour, stir-frying it with sugar neutralizes the sourness,
and seasoning it to be slightly sweet pairs nicely with pizza.
3. For a spicy kick, I also added a little gochugaru (Korean chili flakes) while stir-frying.
Stir-fry thoroughly until there is no moisture left.
4. Spread pizza sauce over the pizza dough and evenly spread out the stir-fried kimchi.
5. Scatter the other ingredients evenly on top...
6. Generously sprinkle cheese at the end, then bake at 200 °C for 15-20 minutes.
