Ingredients
-
6 slices thick-cut turkey bacon, chopped
-
1/2 large onion, diced
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 cup frozen peas and carrots
-
4 cups cooked and cooled long-grain rice (preferably day-old)
-
3 large eggs, beaten
-
2 tablespoons soy sauce
-
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
-
1 teaspoon sesame oil
-
Salt and pepper to taste
-
2 green onions, chopped
Instructions
-
Cook Bacon: In a large skillet or wok, cook chopped turkey bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and set aside.
-
Sauté Aromatics: In the same skillet, add diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant and softened.
-
Add Veggies & Rice: Stir in peas, carrots, and rice. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly until the veggies are heated through and rice is fried.
-
Scramble Eggs: Push the rice mixture to one side of the skillet. Pour the beaten eggs into the empty side and scramble them until fully cooked, then mix into the rice.
-
Season & Serve: Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir everything together. Toss in the crispy bacon and chopped green onions, and serve immediately.
Notes
-
Best with Day-Old Rice: For optimal texture, use leftover rice that’s been cooled for at least an hour. This helps prevent the rice from becoming too sticky during cooking.
-
Customize: Feel free to add extra vegetables or protein, such as bell peppers, chicken, or shrimp, for added variety and flavor.
-
Low-Sodium Option: Use low-sodium soy sauce and oyster sauce to control the salt content if preferred.
-
Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4-5 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave before serving.
