Kimchi Bacon Fried Rice
Kimchi bacon fried rice is my go-to when I need a fast and dirty lunch - so easy but so delicious and satifying. You could even argue that it is semi-healthy due to all the probiotics in the kimchi.

tips & notes
If your rice is freshly cooked, spread it on a tray for 10 minutes so the steam escapes before frying, otherwise you might get really soggy fried rice which ain’t great.
