Bacon & Egg Fried Rice

Yesterday, I shared my {Slow Cooker} Bourbon Pulled Chicken and promised you the recipe for the fried rice we served it over! Yes, it has bacon & eggs in it, but that doesn’t mean it is a breakfast food! Notice I didn’t say you COULDN’T eat it for breakfast! ( I love dinner leftovers for breakfast) Give it a try!

Bacon & Egg Fried Rice (Adapted Recipe Source)

Ingredients

8 slices Bacon, chopped and fried, grease reserved

4 eggs

3 TBSP veg oil

1 large onion, finely diced

1 carrot, finely diced

4 cloves of garlic, finely minced

4 cups, very cold cooked rice (I make mine the day before or morning of and stick it in the fridge)

4 TBSP reduced sodium soy sauce (or more to taste)

1 tsp Sesame oil ( DO NOT LEAVE THIS OUT )

1 teaspoon white pepper

1/2 cup frozen peas

2 green onions, chopped

Directions

Chop raw bacon into small pieces. Fry in a large skillet or wok. Remove bacon from skillet and reserve 2 TBSP bacon grease in skillet over medium heat. Crack and scramble the eggs in a bowl. Add eggs to the pan and leave flat for about 2 minutes, or until cooked through. You don’t want to mess with them. After they have cooked for 2 minutes, I flip over one time to brown the other side slightly. Yes, it gets a little messy. Remove egg from pan, set aside. Heat oil in same skillet. Add the carrots and onions and saute for about 4 minutes, stirring every minute. Then add the chopped garlic. Stirring constantly for 1-2 more minutes. Add in the cold rice, soy sauce, sesame oil, white pepper, and frozen peas, stir-fry tossing for about 5 minutes. Stir in fried egg and green onion. Top with reserved bacon. ENJOY!!!
