Eggs And Bacon With Spicy Fried Rice
- 4 slices thick-cut bacon, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-wide pieces
- 2 cups store-bought cabbage kimchi, preferably red Napa, chopped; reserve some of the liquid from the jar (optional)
- 1 cup thinly sliced scallions
- 2 cups short-grain rice, cooked according to package instructions and cooled (about 5 cups)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 cup frozen peas (not thawed)
- 6 large eggs, fried, scrambled, or poached and still warm

- Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of the fat from the pan.
- Add the kimchi to the bacon fat remaining in the skillet and cook over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.

- Add the scallions to the skillet and cook for 3 minutes, or until wilted.
- Remove and set aside.
- Wipe out the skillet.
- Add the rice and cook over high heat for 1 minute, stirring, to evaporate the excess moisture.

- Remove from the heat and keep warm.
- Season the eggs with salt and pepper to taste.
- Spoon the rice onto individual plates and top with the eggs.
