Ingredients
  

For the Rice Base
  • 4 cups Cooked Rice Day-old for best texture; fresh rice can be too sticky.
For the Protein
  • 6 oz Bacon Adds a savory punch; swap with turkey bacon or omit for a vegetarian option.
  • 3 large Eggs Essential for richness and protein.
For Freshness
  • 2 scallions Green Onions Provides a burst of freshness; chives work well as a substitute.

Equipment

  • large skillet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, add diced bacon and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the bacon and drain on a paper towel, leaving grease in the skillet.
  2. In a bowl, beat the eggs until fully combined. Pour the eggs into the skillet with the bacon grease. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until fluffy and just set. Remove from skillet.
  3. Add the cooked rice to the skillet, breaking clumps. Stir to coat in the bacon grease and cook for 3-4 minutes until heated through and slightly crispy.
  4. Once the rice is hot, add crispy bacon and scrambled eggs back. Chop green onions and sprinkle in. Stir everything gently for 1-2 minutes to combine.
  5. Serve your Breakfast Fried Rice immediately on warm plates. Enjoy hot!
