01 Step

Recipe View In a medium saucepan, bring water to a rolling boil. Add rice, stir briefly, reduce heat to low, cover tightly, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until all water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside to cool slightly. (20 minutes)

Recipe View While the rice is cooking, whisk eggs with salt and pepper. Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a small non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and swirl to create a thin omelet. Cook for approximately 3 minutes, or until set. Flip and cook for 1 minute more. Slide the omelet onto a cutting board to cool. Once cool, slice into thin strips and set aside. (4 minutes)

Recipe View Place bacon lardons in a large skillet or wok. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until crispy and golden brown. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Reserve 1 tablespoon of bacon fat in the skillet; discard the rest. (8 minutes)

04 Step

Recipe View Add the remaining 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil to the skillet with the bacon fat. Add cooked rice, breaking up any clumps with a spatula, and stir to coat with the oil and fat mixture. Stir in the cooked bacon, soy sauce, peas, and sliced egg. Cook, stirring frequently, until heated through and flavors have melded, about 3 minutes. Stir in green onions just before serving. (3 minutes)

For best results, use day-old cooked rice. This will prevent the fried rice from becoming mushy.
Feel free to substitute other vegetables, such as diced carrots, corn, or bell peppers.
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
This recipe is easily customizable. Consider adding cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu for a more substantial meal.
Ensure your wok or skillet is hot before adding the rice; this will prevent sticking and help create a slightly crispy texture.
