I’ve decided it’s kimchi girl summer and this is how we’re kicking it off.

One pan, twenty minutes, crispy bacon, caramelized kimchi. The kimchi fries in the bacon fat and becomes something deeply caramelized and almost jammy, the udon soaks up the sauce as it cooks, and the corn does this quiet but essential job of balancing out all that spice and salt. One pan, about 20 minutes, and genuinely no notes.
