Instructions

Heat 2 Tbsp. canola oil in a wok, large cast-iron skillet or a non-stick pan over high heat. Once hot, add in the eggs and scramble them. Then add in the chopped bacon pieces and cook 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add in the chicken pieces and cook another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. The chicken won't be fully cooked yet, that's OK.
Add in the white onions and carrots. Stir. Then, add in the salt, pepper, garlic powder, chicken bouillon, sesame oil, soy sauce and garlic. Cook this all on high heat still for about 3 minutes.
Next, add in the cooked white rice, scallions, butter and edamame, stir. Add more soy sauce if needed. Divide rice among bowls and serve. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds.

Notes

Rice: Using "old" or leftover rice is helpful to giving your fried rice the perfect texture. But fresh rice is great too so long as you spread the rice out on a plate/tray/baking sheet while it's still hot and give it a few minutes to cool off to allow some surface moisture to evaporate. This makes it easier to fry so you can still get those nice separated grains.
2 cups uncooked white rice typically yields ~6 cups cooked rice.
