Ingredients
- 4 cups cooked rice
- 4 slices bacon, chopped
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup peas and carrots
- 3 green onions, sliced
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by chopping bacon into small pieces, slicing green onions, and ensuring rice is cooked and cooled.
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Cook chopped bacon until crisp and golden, rendering out the fat, approximately 4-5 minutes.
- Remove bacon pieces with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving bacon fat in the pan.
- Add peas and carrots to the bacon fat, stir-frying for 2-3 minutes until vegetables are slightly softened and heated through.
- Push vegetables to one side of the skillet and pour beaten eggs into the empty space, scrambling them quickly until just set.
- Add cooked rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps and mixing with eggs and vegetables.
- Pour soy sauce over the rice mixture, stirring continuously to ensure even coating and prevent sticking.
- Return crispy bacon pieces to the skillet, mixing thoroughly with the rice.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, continuing to stir-fry for an additional 2-3 minutes until rice is heated through and slightly crispy.
- Remove from heat, garnish with sliced green onions, and serve immediately while hot.
