FAQs
1. Can I use pre-made tamagoyaki instead of making it from scratch?
Absolutely! Using pre-made tamagoyaki will significantly reduce prep time. Just make sure to cut it into bite-sized pieces before adding it to the pan.
2. What type of kimchi is best for this recipe?
Any type of kimchi will work, but a kimchi with a good balance of spice and sourness will complement the pork and egg best. Consider using Napa cabbage kimchi or a milder variety if you're sensitive to spice.
