How to Make Perfect Bacon and Egg Fried Rice

Bacon and egg fried rice is a quick, satisfying dish that blends savory, smoky, and rich flavors. Here’s a simple yet delicious recipe to elevate your meal.

Ingredients:

- 2 cups cooked rice (preferably day-old, chilled)

- 4 strips bacon, diced

- 2 large eggs

- 3 green onions, chopped

- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- 2 tbsp soy sauce

- 1 tsp sesame oil

- Salt and pepper to taste

- Oil for stir-frying

Steps:

1. Cook the Bacon: Heat a wok or large skillet over medium heat. Add diced bacon and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove bacon, leaving 1-2 tbsp of grease in the pan.

2. Scramble the Eggs: Pour the beaten eggs into the bacon grease. Scramble until just set, then break into small pieces. Remove and set aside.

3. Sauté Aromatics: Add a bit more oil if needed. Sauté garlic and green onions until fragrant, about 1 minute.

4. Stir-Fry the Rice: Add chilled rice to the wok, breaking up clumps with a spatula. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until heated through.

5. Combine and Season: Return bacon and eggs to the wok. Drizzle with soy sauce and sesame oil, then toss everything together. Season with salt and pepper.

6. Serve: Cook for another 1-2 minutes until everything is well mixed. Serve hot, garnished with extra green onions if desired.
