Instructions
Making Bacon Fried Rice is straightforward and enjoyable. Follow these steps to create your dish:
1. Cook the Bacon: In a large skillet or wok, over medium heat, add the chopped bacon. Cook until crispy, then remove and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pan.
2. Sauté Vegetables: In the same pan, add vegetable oil if needed. Then, sauté the green onions and minced garlic for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Add Mixed Vegetables: Stir in the mixed vegetables and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, ensuring they are heated through.
4. Scramble the Eggs: Push the vegetable mixture to the side of the pan. Pour the beaten eggs into the cleared space and scramble until cooked. Mix everything together.
5. Incorporate Rice: Add the cooked rice to the pan. Break up any clumps and mix thoroughly with the vegetable and egg mixture.
6. Season Rice: Pour the soy sauce over the rice. Stir to combine, ensuring the rice is evenly coated.
7. Add Bacon: Return the crispy bacon to the skillet and mix it into the rice until well-distributed.
8. Final Seasoning: Taste the rice and add salt, pepper, or sesame oil as needed. Give everything a final stir for even heating.
9. Serve Hot: Once heated through, remove from the heat and serve immediately.
Following these steps will ensure a perfect batch of Bacon Fried Rice that is rich in flavor and delightful in texture.
