directions

  • In a large, deep skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 15 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate and discard some of the bacon fat; keep 1 tablespoon of bacon drippings.
  • Return the skillet to the stove and turn the heat to medium high. Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the bacon fat.
  • Add the onion, the celery, 1/2 of the green onions and cook for 4 minutes. Add the garlic, green pepper and mushrooms.
  • Cook another 3 minutes.
  • Add the cooked rice, soya sauce and stir to coat.
  • Stir together.
  • Push rice mixture on edge of pan and add beaten egg in the center. Let the egg set for 1 to 2 minutes, then scramble them with a fork and cook for 2 minutes more. Stir the eggs into the rice, breaking them up into small pieces. Turn off the heat.
  • Add the bacon; season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Transfer the fried rice to a serving platter and sprinkle with remaining chopped green onions.
  • Tip: This serves 4 if it is served with another dish or 2 if it is the main dish.
  • A great way to use leftover rice.
  • It can be made ahead of time and frozen.

  1. VERY tasty! My b/f thought it strange that bacon was in it, until he tasted it, then he loved it. I used a red pepper as that is what I had on hand. I also used a splash of sesame oil along with the regular oil. I made this using Perfect White Rice recipe #137364 as I have always cheated and used instant or got some from the Chinese take-out. LOL Thanks so much for posting, Sage. Made for ZWT6.
