How to Cook Bacon and Egg Fried Rice
I recently had this dish at a local pub and thought, this seems easy, I should try making this at home. I have to say my version turned out 10x better! Don’t worry about following the recipe word for word. I originally wanted to use oyster sauce as a seasoning, but I didn’t have any on hand. Turned out scrumptious with eel sauce. I usually cook with yellow or Spanish onions, but all I had was a Vidalia onion and the sweetness complimented the bacon perfectly. It almost tasted like eating BBQ pork fried rice! If you don’t have sesame oil, leave it out and it will still be good. Have some vegetables you want to add? Go for it. Fried rice is a great canvas recipe. Just make sure you use leftover rice, or at least rice that has been chilled completely after cooking, otherwise it will turn out mushy.

Add bacon rice, soy sauce, oyster sauce and black pepper. Stir-fry for 3 to 5 minutes. Taste for seasoning and adjust as necessary.
