Hi everyone and welcome back to another blog post. Today we will be making kimchi fried rice. This dish is from Korea, a country where all food is good. The fried rice is spicy, but with all the other veggies, it balances the dish out. Now further a do, let’s get to this recipe.

• 150 g bacon, cut into thumbnail size pieces
