KIMCHI - BACON QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Cook bacon over medium heat in a medium pan until golden brown and fat is rendered. Remove bacon to a paper-towel lined plate to drain. Add kimchi to the bacon drippings and cook, stirring ocassionally, until it starts to caramelize, about 6-8 minutes.
• Build your quesadillas. Mix cheeses together. Sprinkle approximately 1/2 cup of cheese onto a tortilla, followed by a bit of kimchi and bacon. Top with another 1/2 cup of cheese and another tortilla. Repeat three more times with remaining tortillas.
• Spray a medium sized skillet (one big enough to fit your tortillas) with nonstick cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Cook quesadillas, one at a time and spraying pan with nonstick spray inbetween each one, for about 1-2 minutes, until tortilla is golden brown, and then carefully flip and cook 1-2 minutes more.
• Cut into wedges and serve immediately with avocado, scallions, queso fresco, pico de gallo, and/or gochujang aioli.

KIMCHI AND BACON RAMEN

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of unsalted water to a boil.
• Heat 1/2 cup of the oil in a small saucepan until hot but not smoking. Turn off the heat. Add half of the scallions and ginger. Let cool for 5 minutes. Pour the mixture into a blender and add the cabbage kimchi, sesame seeds and rice vinegar. Blend until coarsely chopped. Transfer the kimchi pesto to a small bowl and set aside. Rinse the blender carafe with hot water.
• Cook the bacon with the 2 remaining teaspoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat, turning occasionally, until brown and crisp, about 12 minutes. Remove the bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate and crumble 2 of the slices. Discard all but 1 tablespoon of the drippings from the skillet. Increase the heat to medium high. Add the garlic and the remaining scallions and ginger. Cook until browned, about 1 minute, then add 1 1/2 cups of the chicken broth and the crumbled bacon. Simmer until reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
• Transfer the bacon-chicken broth to the blender. Add the kimchi juice, miso, mirin and remaining 1 1/4 cups chicken broth. Leave the lid cracked and cover with a kitchen towel to collect any splatters. Blend until smooth.
• Add the ramen noodles to the boiling water and cook until al dente, about 1 1/2 minutes for fresh noodles and 2 1/2 minutes for dried noodles. Drain and divide among 4 soup bowls. Pour the hot broth from the blender into the bowls. Top with the kimchi pesto and remaining 4 slices of bacon. Add the soft-boiled egg, scallions, nori and kimchi.
