Method

  1. 1 Fry the bacon in a dry pan for 6 minutes until crispy, then drain on paper towels.
  2. 2 Soak thinly sliced onions in ice water for 10 minutes to reduce their pungency and make them crispier.
  3. 3 Roast the sesame seeds, then grind half of them; grind the other half until the sauce is thick but still contains some sesame seeds.
  4. 4 Make the sauce by mixing crushed sesame seeds, vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, and sesame oil.
  5. 5 Mix the vegetables with the sauce just before serving, then sprinkle the crispy bacon on top.
