My grandma’s fried rice<\/a> is sacred. It’s been our house recipe since the time before time. But this weekend, I made Deuki Hong’s Kimchi Fried Rice and if there’s another version to add to your repertoire, it’s this one. I tried my grandma’s version and added kimchi, but it just wasn’t as good as Deuki’s. Bacon plus kimchi is kind of heavenly, and with a fried egg on top, this is the perfect breakfast.<\/p>\n

\"Kimchi<\/p>\n

The version in Koreatown: A Cookbook<\/a> varies just slightly from the recipe published on Vice<\/a>, and I opted for just 1\/2 lb of bacon to go with 2 cups of rice. The video that accompanies the recipe is helpful, too, as Deuki suggests roasting the kimchi to intensify the flavor.<\/p>\n

So what was the inspiration for making the rice? In fact, it was Christina Lauren’s upcoming JOSH AND HAZEL’S GUIDE TO NOT DATING, which features a Korean-American hero in a friends-to-lovers romance. His mom leaves kimchi fried rice for him in his fridge and farms off giant bags of rice on her kids. Synopsis is below. JOSH and HAZEL releases on September 4, and if you pre-order you can sign up to receive a signed bookplate<\/a>.\u00a0 I’ll be reviewing it soon, but in the meantime, enjoy the fried rice.<\/p>\n

SYNOPSIS:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hazel Camille Bradford knows she\u2019s a lot to take\u2014and frankly, most men aren\u2019t up to the challenge. If her army of pets and thrill for the absurd don\u2019t send them running, her lack of filter means she\u2019ll say exactly the wrong thing in a delicate moment. Their loss. She\u2019s a good soul in search of honest fun.<\/p>\n

Josh Im has known Hazel since college, where her zany playfulness proved completely incompatible with his mellow restraint. From the first night they met\u2014when she gracelessly threw up on his shoes\u2014to when she sent him an unintelligible email while in a post-surgical haze, Josh has always thought of Hazel more as a spectacle than a peer. But now, ten years later, after a cheating girlfriend has turned his life upside down, going out with Hazel is a breath of fresh air.<\/p>\n

Not that Josh and Hazel date. At least, not each other. Because setting each other up on progressively terrible double blind dates means there\u2019s nothing between them…right?<\/p>\n
