Step 1

In a large skillet, add the bacon in a single layer on medium-high. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until it’s mostly cooked through. I usually cook for 2 minutes and then flip it over.

Step 2

Next, add the kimchi, garlic, soy sauce, and sugar. Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, until the kimchi has softened.

Step 3

Lower the heat to medium and add the cold rice to the pan alongside the kimchi juice from the kimchi container. I usually add 3 to 4 tablespoons.

Step 4

Continue to sauté until the rice has been fully combined with the rest of the ingredients. Add the sesame oil and continue to sauté until the rice had heated through.

Step 5

Serve immediately or with the toppings of your choice.
