Ingredients

Scale

Protein & Eggs

  • 6 slices bacon, chopped
  • 4 large eggs
  • ¼ tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp ground pepper

Vegetables & Aromatics

  • 1 medium white onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup frozen peas and carrots
  • ½ cup frozen corn
  • 4 green onions, sliced

Rice & Seasonings

  • 3 cups cold cooked rice
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare Bacon: Line a plate with paper towels and set aside. Add chopped bacon to a cold 12-inch skillet or wok and heat over medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until bacon is crisp and fat is rendered, about 10 minutes. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and drain on prepared plate.
  2. Beat Eggs: While bacon cooks, crack eggs into a bowl and season with ¼ tsp kosher salt and ¼ tsp ground pepper. Lightly beat with a fork until blended.
  3. Cook Eggs: Drain all but 2 tablespoons of bacon fat from skillet. Add beaten eggs to the pan, swirling to coat bottom. Cook undisturbed 1-2 minutes until edges set. Scrape edges toward center to scramble gently, then let cook another 1-2 minutes before repeating scramble 1-2 times until eggs are softly scrambled. Remove eggs and set aside.
  4. Sauté Onion and Garlic: Increase heat to medium-high. Add butter and heat until melted and foaming. Add diced onion and sauté 5-6 minutes until translucent. Add minced garlic and cook, stirring constantly, about 1 more minute until fragrant.
  5. Add Rice and Fry: Add cold cooked rice to the skillet, tossing to combine with onions and garlic. Smooth into an even layer and fry undisturbed for 4-5 minutes to develop slight crispness.
  6. Season and Add Vegetables: Pour soy sauce evenly over rice. Loosen rice from pan bottom with a wooden spoon, stirring soy sauce through. Add frozen peas and carrots, frozen corn, and toasted sesame oil. Toss frequently until vegetables are thawed and warmed through and rice looks dry.
  7. Combine and Serve: Remove skillet from heat. Stir in cooked bacon, scrambled eggs, and sliced green onions. Serve immediately, offering additional soy sauce on the side if desired.

Notes

  • Leftover cold rice works best to prevent sogginess.
  • Use a large skillet or wok for even cooking and tossing.
  • Adjust soy sauce amount to taste for saltiness.
  • Vegetables can be varied or fresh vegetables substituted based on preference.
  • For a spicier version, add chili flakes or hot sauce when adding soy sauce.
