Steps:

• Melt the butter in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the kimchi and cook, stirring, until caramelized and slightly charred, about 10 minutes.

Add about a quarter of the caramelized kimchi, a quarter of the sesame or shiso leaves, and a quarter of the sesame seeds. Fold over to create a half-moon. Continue to cook until the bottom of the tortilla blisters like a Neapolitan pizza. Flip the quesadilla over and cook the second side until it reaches the same doneness. Transfer to a plate, cut into triangle-shaped pieces, and serve.

• Cut the Spam into small cubes. Chop the kimchi.
• Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the kimchi and sauté until reddish-brown in color and most of the liquid has evaporated, 4-5 minutes.
• Push the kimchi to the edges of the pan and add the Spam. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, until starting to crisp, then add the sweet corn and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until warmed through. Add the sesame oil, stir to combine, and cook for 1 minute longer, until the flavors have melded. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.
• Place a tortilla in a clean medium skillet. Sprinkle ¼ cup mozzarella cheese over half of the tortilla. Add half of the kimchi and Spam mixture, top with another ¼ cup mozzarella, and fold the tortilla over. Turn the heat to medium and add 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Fry the quesadilla on each side for 2-3 minutes, until golden and crispy and the cheese has melted. Remove from the pan and repeat with the remaining ingredients.
