Ingredients
- 8 lices Bacon
- 3 tablespoons sesame oil
- 4 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 bunch green onions, sliced
- ½ cup frozen peas
- 4 cups cooked white rice
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce, plus more to taste
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sambal or Sriracha
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 avocado
Instructions
- Cook the bacon until crispy, let cool, then tear into small pieces.
- In a large non stick skillet over medium heat, heat sesame oil. Add garlic, green onions and peas and cook, stirring, until green onions are softened and peas are warmed through, about 3 minutes. Add cooked rice and toss to combine, breaking up any clumps. Let the veggies and rice cook until slightly browned, about 6 minutes
- In a small bowl, stir together soy sauce, rice vinegar and sambal. Pour mixture over fried rice, then add bacon and stir well. Scrape rice to one side of the pan and pour eggs into the other side; stir immediately to scramble the eggs as they cook. As the eggs begin to scramble, stir rice into eggs. Taste and season with more soy sauce and/or Sambal, as desired
- Serve with avocado and extra green onions if desired.
