Excellent fried rice. I used Canola oil as that or olive oil were what I had on hand. I skipped the peas because I hate peas but followed all other ingredients and instructions. I knew it would be a hit with DH as is anything with bacon and wasn't dissappointed. I loved it too :) Made for PAC Spring/09.
