START WITH Spaghetti
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta. Cook the pasta until al dente, 10-12 minutes. Drain, reserve a cup of water, and toss through a drizzle of olive oil.
POPPIN’ SESAME SEEDS
Place the sesame seeds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until they pop, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
BETTER WITH BACON
Return the pan to medium-high heat. When hot, add the bacon strips and fry until browned and crispy, 1-2 minutes per side. Remove from the pan, reserving the fat behind in the pan, and drain on paper towel. Roughly chop when cooled.
ALL TOGETHER NOW
Return the pan with the bacon fat to the heat and fry the spring onion whites until golden and softening, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Mix through the Kimchi, the cooked pasta, and chopped bacon until heated through, 1-2 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the heat and mix in the kewpie mayo and seasoning.
