How to Make It

1. Step

Add the bacon to a medium nonstick or cast iron pan. Cook over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes, until the fat from the bacon begins to render.

2. Step

Add the light scallions and garlic. Cook until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute, then add the kimchi and sauté for about 2 minutes, until lightly browned.

3. Step

Add the rice, kimchi juice, grapeseed oil, and fish sauce. Stir with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula to combine and break up the clumps of rice, then fold in the dark scallions, gim, and sesame seeds. Remove the pan from the heat and let cool for about 10 minutes.

4. Step

With wet or gloved hands, roll 2 tablespoons of the fried rice into a ball. Repeat with the remaining rice.

5. Step

Garnish with more gim and sesame seeds and serve with nori sheets, if desired.

6. Step

Enjoy!
