A delightful recipe for Bacon Fried Rice that transforms leftovers into a savory meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 slices chopped bacon
  • 1 chopped white onion
  • 1 cup frozen peas and carrots
  • 2 lightly beaten eggs
  • 3 cups cooked white rice
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 chopped green onions

Instructions

  1. Cook Bacon: Start by sizzling the chopped bacon in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook until it's perfectly crisp, about 5-7 minutes, then reserve about 1 tablespoon of the delicious bacon grease in the pan.

  2. Sauté Vegetables: Add the chopped onion along with the frozen peas and carrots into the skillet. Stir-fry for around 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent and the vegetables are tender and vibrant.

  3. Scramble Eggs: Push the veggies to one side of the skillet and pour in the lightly beaten eggs. Scramble them quickly for about 1-2 minutes until they're just set and creamy, then mix everything together.

  4. Combine Rice: Gently fold in the cooked white rice, breaking up any clumps. Add the crispy bacon and the sautéed vegetables and eggs to the mixture, ensuring a harmonious blend of flavors.

  5. Add Seasoning: Drizzle in the sesame oil and soy sauce, stirring continuously until the rice is heated through and coated evenly, about 2-3 minutes. The rice should start to glisten!

  6. Garnish and Serve: Finish off by garnishing with chopped green onions for a pop of color and freshness. Serve your Bacon Fried Rice warm, and enjoy the delightful flavors!

Notes

  • Rice Choice: Use medium-to-long grain rice, like Jasmine, to ensure a fluffy texture that won't clump or become mushy while frying.

  • Crispy Bacon: Cook the bacon until it's perfectly crisp; undercooked bacon can make your dish greasy instead of savory.

  • Keep It Moving: Stir continuously when adding the soy sauce and sesame oil to avoid sticking and ensure even flavor distribution in your Bacon Fried Rice.

  • Veggie Freshness: If possible, use fresh vegetables instead of frozen for a vibrant color and fresher flavor, but keep in mind frozen options are convenient and still tasty.

  • Custom Additions: Don’t hesitate to personalize your bacon fried rice with proteins or vegetables you adore; leftover grilled chicken or tofu works wonderfully!
