Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Cooked rice (day-old is best)
- 4 slices Bacon
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 medium Carrot (finely diced)
- 3 stalks Green onions (sliced)
- 0.5 cups Frozen peas
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
1. Start by preparing all ingredients. Dice the bacon, finely chop the carrot and green onions, and mince the garlic. Beat the eggs in a small bowl and set aside.
2. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the skillet.
3. Add the beaten eggs to the skillet and quickly scramble them until just cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside with the bacon.
4. Return the skillet to medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and diced carrots. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the carrots begin to soften.
5. Add the frozen peas and cook for another minute, stirring frequently.
6. Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the cooked rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps with a wooden spoon or spatula.
7. Drizzle the soy sauce and sesame oil over the rice, and stir everything together to evenly coat the rice and vegetables.
8. Add the cooked bacon, scrambled eggs, and sliced green onions to the skillet. Mix everything thoroughly. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
9. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the ingredients are heated through.
10. Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Breakfast Fried Rice!
