Bacon Fried Rice Recipes

Steps:

• Place bacon in a large, deep skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until just beginning to brown, about 7 minutes. Drain all but 1 to 2 teaspoons of bacon grease from the skillet. Add green beans, onion, and garlic; saute until bacon is crisp and green beans and onions are softened, about 3 minutes.
• Push bacon mixture to one side of the skillet; heat sesame oil on the empty side, about 30 seconds. Pour in egg; cook until just set, about 1 minute. Stir into bacon mixture to combine. Mix in rice. Stir in soy sauce, a tablespoon at a time, until rice is evenly coated. Cook until rice is heated through, 3 to 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sesame oil and bacon; cook, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is almost crisp, 4 minutes. Add the sugar and 1 teaspoon soy sauce; stir-fry until the bacon is glazed, about 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl using a slotted spoon; reserve the drippings in a separate bowl. Wipe out the skillet.
• Heat 2 teaspoons of the drippings in the skillet over medium heat. Whisk the eggs and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl; add to the skillet and cook, undisturbed, until just set, 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate and break up the eggs into large pieces.
• Heat the remaining drippings in the skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tomatoes and ginger; stir-fry until the tomatoes are softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the snow peas, bell pepper and scallions; stir-fry until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Add the rice and the remaining 2 teaspoons soy sauce; stir-fry until warmed through, about 2 minutes. Stir in the eggs and cook 1 minute. Top with the bacon.

Steps:

• Fry bacon until crisp.
• Add onion and stir fry for 1 minute.
• Add egg and scramble until egg forms small flakes.
• Stir in rice and garlic, continue to stir fry until heated through.
• Gently separate grains of rice with fork so mixture is fluffy.
• Add soy sauce and stir until mixture is well blended.

Steps:

• Heat a wok over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon peanut oil. Add the eggs, reduce the heat a bit and stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes to scramble. Remove and set aside. Reheat the wok and add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon peanut oil. When the oil is hot, add the pancetta, garlic and ginger, then stir quickly. Once the pancetta begins to turn brown, 1 to 2 minutes, add in the shrimp and peas and stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes more. Add the cooked rice and stir well to break it up in the wok. Add the scrambled eggs back in, season with the light soy and toss to coat the rice. Add in the toasted sesame oil and season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately garnished with chopped scallions.

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet or wok over high heat, then add the 2 tablespoons of oil and the bacon. Cook the bacon, stirring occasionally, until crispy, about 2 minutes. Stir in the onion, garlic, carrots and snap peas and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften, about 1 minute.
• Add the eggs to the skillet, then add the rice directly into the wet egg. Using the back of a spatula or spoon, press the rice into the egg, fold and repeat until the rice is completely coated and heated through. Add the soy sauce and oyster sauce and stir to coat the rice. Season with a pinch of salt. Cook over high heat, stirring, until the rice is heated through, 2 to 4 minutes. Garnish with the scallions and some white pepper.

Steps:

• Add the rice to a medium saucepan and cover with water. Swish the rice with your fingers and then strain through a fine-mesh strainer. Repeat the process 2 more times. Place the washed rice back into the saucepan and add 1 1/2 cups water. Cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid and cook over medium-low heat until all the water has been absorbed and the rice is cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the heat and keep covered for an additional 10 to 15 minutes. (If using a rice cooker, follow the manufacturers' instructions.) Fluff the rice with a fork, transfer to a tray and allow to cool in the refrigerator until the rice is no longer sticky, about 2 hours.
• In a large skillet or wok, cook the bacon over high heat until crispy, about 10 minutes. Remove the cooked bacon and reserve about 2 tablespoons bacon fat in the skillet. Reserve the remaining bacon fat for another use.
• Return the skillet to high heat and add the sesame oil. Add the onions, garlic and ginger. Add 3/4 teaspoon salt and 3/8 teaspoon pepper and stir until the onions are translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the carrots, pineapple and remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt and 3/8 teaspoon pepper. Continue stirring until the pineapple and carrots are cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the sake, soy sauce and rice wine vinegar and continue stirring. Add the cooled rice and reserved bacon and continue stirring. If necessary, add a touch more bacon fat or oil to the pan to avoid sticking. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
• Transfer the fried rice to serving bowls and garnish with the scallions, cilantro and a sunny-side up egg on top.

Steps:

• Place a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add the vegetable oil and bacon and stir-fry until golden and crisp, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle the sugar over the bacon and toss. Add 1/4 teaspoon soy sauce (watch out-the oil will bubble up) and continue to stir-fry until the bacon is glazed, about 30 seconds. Transfer the bacon to a bowl with a slotted spoon. Add the garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes to the drippings in the pan and stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the broccoli and cook until crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the rice, the remaining 2 teaspoons soy sauce, the broth and glazed bacon. Toss to heat through.
• Push the fried rice to one side of the pan, crack the eggs into the other side and scramble until set, about 1 minute. Mix the eggs into the rice and stir in the watercress. Divide among bowls and serve with mustard or chili sauce, if desired.

Steps:

• In a large wok or high sided skillet, cook bacon over medium high heat until done.
• Remove bacon from pan with a slotted spoon and set aside to drain on paper towels.
• Add green onion to bacon grease and cook until tender and slightly translucent.
• Add rice to pan and cook until rice is very lightly brown and cooked throughout.
• Push rice to the sides and add egg into center of pan.
• Quickly scramble cook eggs.
• Push rice back into center of pan and mix all thoroughly.
• Season with soy sauce to taste.

Steps:

• Slice the bacon slices cross ways into small slivers. This works well if you keep your bacon frozen. Thaw enough to slice and then just slice off your pieces of bacon across so you have a bunch of thin strips. Fry the slivers of bacon in a large wok or pan and then remove the bacon to drain on a paper towel. Reserve some of the bacon fat, about 2-4 tbsp, or use vegetable oil, or use a mixture.
• Lightly fry the garlic in the bacon fat/oil in the same pan you fried the bacon. Don't let the garlic get brown. Add the cold rice and the peas and carrots and let it all warm at high temperature and break up the big pieces of rice. It's ok for there to be some clumps of rice remaining. It is important your rice is cold when you start or the fried rice will get gluey and mushy. Day old rice is best, but if you want to make your rice fresh and then fry it, cook the rice and put in a flat baking pan in the freezer to cool for 30-60 minutes first.
• After about 5 minutes, or once the rice is heated through make a well in the center of your rice. Add your eggs and stir them slightly. I like to cook the egg most of the way through in the well, and then slowly bring in the remaining rice which gives some eggy chunks as well as a light coating of egg on some of the rice. Another option is to lightly fry the scrambled egg separately first and then add it to the fried rice.
• The last step is to add the soy sauce, crumble bacon pieces over, mix, taste and add salt if desired.
• This fried rice is surprisingly simple, but really awesome. I always use the frozen peas/carrots, but other veggies can work. Never use canned veggies, and ones that release water (like tomatoes, mushrooms, zucchini, squash) can be tricky, because your rice can get mushy. Fresh carrots, broccoli, snap peas, bell pepper, frozen/fresh corn have been tried and all work.

Steps:

• Trim most of the fat from bacon & chop meat into bite-sized pieces. Fry in large skillet until almost crisp. With slotted spoon, remove to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Set aside. Leave 1 teaspoon (or less) of the bacon grease in pan but wipe out any more than that & reduce heat to medium low.
• Lightly beat eggs, milk, salt & pepper together, then add to hot pan & scramble. Breaking up into small, 1/2 inch or so, sized pieces & cook til dried but not browned. Remove to small bowl & set aside.
• To pan, add olive oil, garlic, 5 of the sliced onions, shredded carrot & frozen veggies. Stir fry for about 2 minutes.
• Sprinkle bouillon (or packets) over veggies then add the 2 Tablespoons water & stir to dissolve.
• To pan, add rice, soy sauce & sesame oil. Stir fry for about 3 minutes or until rice is evenly coated with the soy sauce.
• Stir in bacon pieces.
• Gently stir in scrambled egg.
• Garnish with last sliced green onion.
• Serve with additional soy sauce, sesame oil or chili oil.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk eggs together until well-combined.
• In a large sauté pan over high heat coated with 1/4-inch of oil, gently lower the eggs in and season.
• Eggs will puff up and cook through very quickly; transfer eggs and oil to a paper towel-lined plate.
• In the same pan, cook the bacon. When bacon is almost fully cooked, add the garlic, ginger and scallion whites and stir-fry for 1 minute, until softened and fragrant.
• Add the rice, naturally brewed soy sauce and eggs and stir to heat through and break up the eggs.
• Check for flavor and season if necessary.
• Toss in the cilantro and scallions greens and serve.

Steps:

• Mix corn, peas, and 1 tablespoon water in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high until tender, about 2 minutes.
• Whisk 1 tablespoon water and 1 egg together in a small bowl.
• Melt butter in a wok or large skillet over medium heat. Pour in egg; cook until set, about 1 minute per side. Transfer cooked egg into to a plate and slice. Repeat with remaining 2 tablespoons water and remaining 2 eggs.
• Place bacon in the wok and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and slice.
• Reheat wok over high heat, about 1 minute. Swirl in oil; heat until it shimmers. Break up large clumps of rice with wet fingers to separate the grains. Add 2 handfuls of rice to the wok and cook, stirring constantly, until it stars to crisp up, about 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl. Repeat with remaining rice.
• Reduce heat to medium; return all rice to the wok. Stir in sriracha sauce, soy sauce, and fish sauce until rice is well-coated and heated through, about 2 minutes. Add corn, peas, eggs, and bacon; toss together until combined, about 3 minutes.

Steps:

• Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Remove bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, and leave 2 tablespoons bacon grease in the skillet. Crumble bacon when cool enough to touch.
• Add onions to the skillet and cook over medium-high heat until soft and translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add broccoli rice and fry until tender, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes. Mix in beaten eggs and stir until well combined. Cook until eggs are completely scrambled into broccoli rice mixture. Turn off heat and stir in soy sauce.
• Add crumbled bacon just before serving and stir to incorporate. Top with green onions.

Steps:

• In a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high, heat 2 tablespoons oil until almost smoking. Stir in bacon, and cook, stirring constantly, until bacon is golden, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a heatproof bowl, leaving as much oil in the skillet as you can.
• Add scallion whites to the pan. Cook until soft, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes. If the pan looks dry, drizzle in a little more oil, then stir in cabbage and a pinch of salt. Cook, continuing to stir frequently, until cabbage is soft, 2 to 4 minutes. Stir in garlic, and cook until fragrant, another 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to the bowl with the bacon.
• Add remaining 3 tablespoons oil to skillet and raise heat to high. Add rice, and a large pinch of salt, then toss thoroughly to coat with oil. Spread out rice in an even layer along the bottom (and sides if in a wok), and drizzle fish sauce and soy sauce over. Let rice sit until sizzling stops and it starts to crackle and crisp, 1 to 4 minutes. Toss, taste, and add more fish sauce or soy sauce if necessary.
• Fold in bacon mixture, kimchi and peas, then transfer to plates. Top with scallion greens, more kimchi to taste, and fried eggs, if using. Drizzle everything with sesame oil and soy sauce, if you like, and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Beat three eggs in an empty bowl and add a bit of salt until well-combined.
• Cut bacon into 1-inch (2 ½ cm) pieces and finely dice the onion.
• Heat oil in either a wok or nonstick frying pan over medium heat and add beaten eggs. Gently scramble the eggs; when they are almost done, remove from wok and set aside.
• Add bacon to the wok and allow it to render down and become crisp. Once the bacon is done, take it out of the wok and set aside, along with the scrambled eggs.
• Add the diced onion to the wok and stir-fry until translucent. Then add the cooked rice, make sure the rice is fluffed and cooled, and stir-fry for 2 to 5 minutes. Use spatula to break up any clumps.
• Add the salt, pepper, sugar, and soy sauce. Stir for another minute or so.
• Once there is steam coming off the rice and it is completely heated through, add scrambled eggs and cooked bacon.
• Sprinkle with green onion, as desired.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Bring water to a boil in a saucepan. Stir instant white rice into boiling water. Cook rice until softened, about 5 minutes.
• Heat oil in a separate skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken in hot oil until cooked through and no longer pink in the middle, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Fry bacon in a large wok or skillet over medium-high until hot and cooked through but not yet crunchy, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove bacon to a plate lined with paper towels. Drain fat from wok, reserving 1 to 2 tablespoons of drippings in the bottom of the wok. Cut bacon into small pieces.
• Return wok to medium-high heat and heat reserved bacon drippings. Combine rice, chicken, bacon, green onions, and soy sauce in the wok; cook and stir until evenly mixed and hot, 2 to 3 minutes.
