For the Rice Base

  • 1 cup Frozen Peas and Carrots Mix Fresh veggies can be substituted.

Equipment

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the chopped bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes, until crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels, leaving fat in the skillet.
  2. In the same skillet, crack the eggs and stir gently over medium-low heat for about 1-2 minutes until just set but still soft. Remove and keep warm with bacon.
  3. Add the chopped onion to the skillet and increase heat to medium. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent.
  4. Stir in the frozen peas and carrots, cooking for 2-3 minutes until warmed through.
  5. Raise heat to medium-high and add the cold rice, breaking up clumps. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes.
  6. Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil, mixing until well combined. Continue stir-frying for another minute or two.
  7. Add the crispy bacon and scrambled eggs back to the skillet, folding them into the rice mixture. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  8. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Stir and give it a minute longer on heat.
  9. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve hot.
