Ingredients
Breakfast Fried Rice Ingredients
- 4 pieces bacon, diced
- 3 eggs, scrambled
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 2 green onions, sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the Bacon: In a nonstick skillet or well-seasoned cast iron pan, cook the diced bacon over medium heat until crispy and golden brown, about 6 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking and proper fat rendering.
- Drain Excess Fat: Drain all but 1 tablespoon of bacon fat from the pan, reserving the fat for other uses or discarding it. Leaving a tablespoon adds flavor to the fried rice.
- Cook the Eggs: Lower the heat to medium-low and add the scrambled eggs. Gently move the eggs around the pan with a spatula until fully cooked but still slightly soft, about 2 minutes, to avoid dryness or rubberiness.
- Add Rice and Green Onions: Add the cooked rice and sliced green onions to the pan. Break up any clumps of rice gently and cook while stirring frequently until heated through, about 5 minutes.
- Season and Serve: Taste and season with salt and pepper generously as needed. Divide the fried rice between two plates, garnish with hot sauce if desired, and serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- Use leftover rice for best texture, ideally refrigerated overnight.
- Reserve extra bacon fat for roasting vegetables or adding flavor to eggs.
- Adjust seasoning carefully since bacon adds saltiness.
- For a vegetarian version, substitute bacon with smoked tofu or mushrooms and omit bacon fat.
- Serve immediately to enjoy crispy bacon and fluffy rice texture.
