Ingredients
- 1 vegetable oil 1/2 tablespoon
- 3 lices Bacon chopped
- 1 cup potato 1/3-inch or 1-cm cubes, diced
- 1 light soy sauce Footnote 1, 1/2 tablespoon
- 3 egg beaten
- 3 cups white rice cooked
- 1 cup ham or other leftover meat (chicken, beef, or shrimp, diced
- 1/2 cup green peas frozen
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper powder
- 4 green onions chopped, green and white part separated
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Add 1/2 tablespoon oil and bacon to a large nonstick skillet. Cook over medium heat until the bacon turns dark brown and crispy. Turn to medium low heat if the pan starts to smoke. Transfer bacon to a plate and reserve the bacon fat in the pan.
- Add potato. Cook and stir until the surface turns golden brown. Add 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce. Stir a few times until the surface turns dark brown and the inside tender. If the potato isn’t cooked through, add 2 tablespoons water and immediately cover the pan. Let steam for a minute. Transfer the potato to the plate with the bacon.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and pour in egg. Cook until the bottom is set but the top side is still raw. Add rice on top of egg and spread it with a spatula, so the rice is coated with egg mixture. Use a spatula to break the rice into smaller morsels.
- Add frozen peas, ham, and green onion. Sprinkle cumin powder, white pepper powder and the remaining 1 tablespoon soy sauce.
- Stir and cook until the rice is well separated and the green peas are cooked, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add cooked potato back into skillet. Stir for another minute to mix everything well. Use a spoon to taste the rice and season with more salt if necessary.
- If you like your rice a bit crisped, turn off heat and let the rice continue cooking with the residual heat for 1 to 2 minutes without moving. Fluff with spatula.
- Serve hot as a light main or side.
Notes
- You can use soy sauce to replace light soy sauce. It results in a dish with darker color, but it does not affect taste. Use tamari for gluten free option.
