[Cook] Stirred Fried Kimchi Rice Cake

Mother-in-law gave us some kimchi and rice cake to take http://www.eileenlikestoeat.com.  I had pork and tofu at http://www.eileenlikestoeat.com.  I remember this Korean dish with kimchi, pork, and tofu I had in restaurant.  Maybe I could add those ingredients together with rice cake?  The kimchi was http://www.eileenlikestoeat.commade.  It wasn't as strong/salty/spicy as store bought ones.  The taste was milder, but it was crunchier and fresher.  Since it was the kimchi that give the stirred fried rice cake its flavor, I thought I could add a little bit more Korean spicy chili bean paste to make it spicier.  Too bad I don't have any at http://www.eileenlikestoeat.com.  Also I think Korean people usually add green onion to their dishes, not cilantro.  But I only had cilantro in my fridge so that was what I used.  Dr. P said it tasted like a Korean Chinese dish.  haha....
