Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 slices bacon chopped
  • 2 cups cooked rice preferably day-old
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 1 cup frozen peas and carrots
  • 2 green onions chopped
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

  1. In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the bacon grease in the pan.

  4. Stir in the cooked rice, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix well and cook for another 3–4 minutes.
  5. Return the crispy bacon to the pan and toss everything together. Garnish with green onions and serve hot!
