Stir-Fried Kimchi with Bacon

This spicy-sweet stir-fry takes inspiration from a Korean side called kimchi bokkeum. Though typically made with kimchi and pork belly, we found the fatty, smoky qualities of bacon to be an ideal match for brightly acidic pickled cabbage. Gochujang, the Korean fermented chili paste, is one of our favorite powerhouse ingredients, bringing spicy, sweet and umami-rich notes. A pinch of sugar and splash of sesame oil round out the dish. Serve over steamed rice.
