  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 slices of crispy bacon, chopped
  • 3 cups cooked rice (preferably day-old)
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 green onion, sliced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Fry bacon slices in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy, then remove and drain on paper towels. Chop into small pieces and set aside, keeping the bacon drippings in the pan.
  2. In the same pan, add beaten eggs and scramble until just set. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Mix in the vegetables and cook for 2-3 minutes until tender.
  3. Stir in the cooked rice, breaking apart any clumps. Drizzle soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), and sesame oil evenly over the rice. Mix thoroughly to combine all flavors.
  4. Add the crispy bacon pieces back into the skillet. Stir everything well to distribute evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
  5. Garnish with sliced green onions. Serve hot as a main dish or side for a complete meal.

Notes

  • Use day-old rice for the best fried rice texture and to prevent clumping.
  • Adjust soy sauce and oyster sauce quantities to taste for desired saltiness.
  • For extra crunch, add a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds.
  • Can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated in a skillet or microwave.
