Yakimeshi - Japanese Fried Rice 焼き飯

Yakimeshi is a Japanese fried rice featuring cooked rice mixed with mayonnaise, scrambled eggs, bacon, green shallots, salt, and black pepper. The rice is first fried in oil for texture, then combined with eggs and bacon to create a savory, creamy, and slightly smoky dish. The scallions add freshness and mild onion flavor, making it a satisfying meal or side dish.
