8 slices thick-cut bacon, cut into ½ inch crosswise
3 cups kimchi, drained (reserving liquid)
4½ to 5 cups cooked medium-grain white rice, chilled
1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
Toasted sesame seeds
4 fried eggs (optional)
Instructions
Cut the nori sheets in half with shears, and then cut into ½-inch-thick strips. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and stir-fry until almost cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove bacon fat leaving about 2 tablespoons in the pan with the browned bacons.
Increase the heat to high, add kimchi and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes.
Add the rice, the reserved kimchi liquid, sesame oil and half of the nori strips. Stir, turning and flattening the rice for 2-3 minutes or until mixture are well combined.
Transfer the fried rice to a serving dish. Sprinkle with the remaining nori strips and the sesame seeds. Serve with fried egg, if desired.
