Kimchi Fried Rice

Kimchi Fried Rice is one of the best and easiest ways use up ripened kimchi with leftover rice.  I added bacon as I love the crunchy texture and the extra flavor to the dish with cooking the green onions, kimchi and rice in the bacon fat.

Feel free to substitute the bacon with your favorite meat or make it vegetarian. I kept it simple with adding green onions but you can also sauté some onions and garlic before adding in the kimchi.
