Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp. canola oil or vegetable oil
  • 3 large egg
  • 4 trips Bacon uncooked, thawed, chopped into pieces
  • 1 large chicken breast boneless, skinless, diced into small pieces
  • 1/2 small onion white, diced
  • 2 large carrot peeled, cut into small squares
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. black pepper
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 tsp. chicken bouillon seasoning
  • 1 Tbsp. sesame oil
  • 1 Tbsp. soy sauce plus more if desired
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 6 cups white rice cooked, cooled
  • 1 bunch scallions chopped, reserve 2 Tbsp. for garnish
  • 1/2 cup edamame
  • 2 Tbsp. butter
  • 1 Tbsp. sesame seeds toasted, for garnish

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. 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.
  2. Add in the chicken pieces and cook another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. The chicken won't be fully cooked yet, that's OK.
  3. 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.
  4. 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

  • Use leftover or cooled fresh rice spread out to reduce moisture for best fried rice texture.
  • Two cups uncooked white rice yields about six cups cooked rice suitable for this recipe.
