Delicious Bacon Fried Rice Recipe for a Quick Meal

Ingredients

Servings:
3
  • 2 cups cooked rice (preferably day-old for best texture)
  • 4 slices bacon (chopped)
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, and corn)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 2 eggs beaten (optional for extra protein)
  • 2 tablespoons green onions (chopped, for garnish)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil (for flavor)
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Cook the Bacon

    In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy.

    Drain excess fat if necessary, leaving a little for flavor.
  2. Add Vegetables

    Stir in the mixed vegetables and cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.

    Frozen vegetables work great for this recipe.
  3. Scramble the Eggs

    Push the bacon and vegetables to the side of the skillet, add beaten eggs, and scramble until cooked.

    You can skip this step if you prefer a vegetarian version.
  4. Add Rice

    Add the cooked rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps, and mix everything together.

    Day-old rice is ideal as it’s less sticky.
  5. Season the Rice

    Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil, then season with salt and pepper to taste.

    Taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary.
  6. Garnish and Serve

    Remove from heat, garnish with chopped green onions, and serve hot.

    Serve with extra soy sauce on the side.
