I am happy to be back on blogging.
The smellier, the better… 🙂
Chop these bacon brothers. Set aside.
Get rid of them.
You don’t want kimchee juice all over you, do you?
Chop your Kimchee any way you like…
Heat your pan and brown the bacon strips
until crisp.
Set aside.
Nah! Let’s eat a little healthier.
You will need some fat to cook Kimchee with.
Add the chopped Kimchee and saute them
for about 5 minutes until they get nice and tender.
Add heated leftover rice to the pan and mix with Kimchee well.
Add some Kimchee juice to the pan. Mix well.
Turn off the heat and add sesame oil,
reserved bacon pieces and sesame seeds. Mix them well.
Sprinkle some black pepper if you like…
Sunny side up for me, please…
Place the egg on top of the fried rice.
I am.

Jux,
Good to hear from you. Yes, I am happy to be back to my ordinary life from the extra-ordinary craziness of this past summer. Life does get better if you wait patiently, I guess.
Thanks for your encouragement. You are the best!
Hi, how are you? So, this is where you've been. I've been anxiously waiting for an update on your blog. I was really hoping to meet you in person sometime this school year…oh well. Good luck to you and your family on your new posting. Where ever you end up, as long as you have your family with you, you are home.

Welcome back!
A simple kimchi fried rice is going to make me happy. I like your variation with bacon, nice!
I love to make kimchi fried rice! (and I like it with an over medium egg 🙂 I never thought to add bacon, but I think it would make it even tastier.
I'm glad your back. I see your beautiful pictures on foodgawker and then your posts make me smile.
I sometimes cook kimuchee fried rice for my husband. My husband love it as we once lived in Seoul Korea leaving from our native country Japan.
I have added no bacon in my kimuchee fried rice,
so by borrowing your wonderful recipe, I'll use
bacon in mine next.
Thank you for your wonderful recipe.

Thanks, Aesoon.
I loved living in Hong Kong and hope to be back there someday. Please, let's keep in touch through my blog.
This is a fantastic recipe! Kimchi fried rice has been one of my favorite indulgences back in KTown, LA and I just can't believe how easy this was!
Wow, I just found your blog, and I'm so excited to try out your recipes. I've been looking for some authentic Korean recipes for a while now!
What a wonderful recipe! My husband and I love making kimchi bokumbap, but I've never done it with bacon, or with sesame oil. We made it for lunch today and it was fabulous! Thanks so much! Also, I love this blog. I'm not Korean and my husband misses Korean cooking so much. It's hard to find good recipes in plain English. So thank you for this blog! 🙂
I had kimchi fried rice a couple months ago and fell in love with it. I'm so glad I came across your recipe, and now I can try it myself! You have a lot of great kimchi recipes, and other recipes too, by the way…. and I love kimchi so yay 🙂
Hi! I just came across your blog looking for Lotus root recipe and guess what? I found your kimchee fried rice recipe, tried it and the result is just wonderful !!!! Though I put in shrimps in place of bacon and added some frozen peas for more vegetables, the taste is very nice. The bites from the kimchee give extra flavor (sour and salty) and I just love it. I guess the kimchee (from Korea, bought from the local store) is the key ingredient of this recipe. Now off to cook some sushi rice to try the rice balls from this blog…..
Thank you so much and have a nice day!
I used to eat something similar to this when I lived in Korea, but I think it used ham and it was COVERED with cheese… it was served on a hot plate, too, so the cheese all melted into it… could I use this same recipe and just add the cheese? I miss this!!
Of course. I think most people like to sprinkle some cheese on top of the fried rice and put it in the oven to melt the cheese. Try it!
I want to bookmark this particular blog, “Kimchi Bacon Fried Rice”
on my very own blog. Would you mind if perhaps I actuallydo it?
Thanks a lot -Cynthia
Yes, with a link back to my site, please!
I just bought a jar of kimchee over the weekend, can’t wait to try out this recipe.
