Bacon and Kimchi Bokkeumbap

Kimchi bokkeumbap, literally translates as “kimchi fried rice” and is a popular dish in Korea. Is made primarily with kimchi and rice, along with other available ingredients, such as diced vegetables or meats. In this recipe, I wanted to give the original version a little twist that will include a combination of Western and traditional Chinese fried rice styles by adding soy sauce and bacon. Easy and tasty.

Ingredients (1 serving)

½ red pepper (chopped)
¼ big carrot (chopped)
¼ onion (chopped)
1 tbsp. soy sauce
1 tbsp. beef or chicken stock
4 slices of bacon (cut in small pieces)
½ cup of chopped kimchi
2 cups of cooked white rice
1 tbsp. Sesame oil

Preparation

In a fried pan at medium heat, add the sesame oil and bacon. Stir for about three minutes. Add red peppers, carrots and onions. Stir fry all ingredients for another three minutes. Add the rice and continue to mix for about one minute. Then, add the soy sauce and stock. Make sure to mix well until the rice turns to a brown-golden color. Finally, add the kimchi and continue stirring until well blended.
