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 and fry until browned and crispy, 2-3 minutes. Remove from the pan, reserving the fat behind in the pan.
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).
