Kimchi Pizza With Bacon Food

KIMCHI PIZZA WITH BACON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F and place a rack on the bottom shelf.
• Place 2 cups of the kimchi and the pear into the bowl of a food processor. Blend to a chunky puree.
• Drain the liquid from the remaining kimchi into the food processor, and then chop into bite-size pieces.
• Cook the bacon in a large saute pan over medium heat until crispy and most of the fat has rendered, 12 to 15 minutes.
• While the bacon is cooking, roll out the pizza dough. Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit the back of an inverted baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the oven on the bottom shelf. Lightly dust the parchment with flour. Divide the dough in half, and then stretch or roll 1 piece of dough into an 11-inch round directly on the parchment paper.
• Once the bacon is crispy, use a slotted spoon to transfer half of the bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain. Add the kimchi puree to the remaining bacon in the pan. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, and then reduce to a simmer. Simmer, uncovered, until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Stir in 1 teaspoon of the sesame oil. Season with salt and pepper.
• To assemble 1 pizza, spread half of the kimchi sauce on the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Sprinkle half of both cheeses over the kimchi sauce. Spread half of the chopped kimchi over the cheese. Brush the crust with half of the remaining sesame oil and sprinkle with half of the sesame seeds.
• Carefully lift the parchment onto the heated baking sheet. Cook until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly, 8 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with half of the reserved bacon and garnish with some sliced scallions.
• Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make 1 more pizza.

BACON AND KIMCHI NOODLE STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccolini and cook until bright green and crisp-tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove with tongs to a colander and run briefly under cool water. (Keep the pot of water boiling.) Meanwhile, stir the kimchi brine, sesame oil, brown sugar, garlic and red pepper flakes in a small bowl.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and bacon and cook, stirring, until the bacon is crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the red onion and cook until browned and softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the kimchi and cook until softened, about 2 minutes.
• Add the noodles to the boiling water and cook until al dente, about 3 minutes. Using tongs, transfer the noodles to the skillet (reserve the cooking water); stir until the noodles are well coated in the bacon-onion mixture.
• Add the broccolini and kimchi sauce to the skillet and toss until combined, about 1 minute. (Add up to 1/2 cup of the reserved cooking water if the pasta is too dry.) Season with salt. Divide among plates; top with the toasted sesame seeds and finely chopped kimchi.
