    What Other Ingredients Can You Add to Bacon and Egg Fried Rice

    • If you'd rather, instead of stirring in egg in the fried rice as you cook it, you may want to top the fried rice with egg sunny-side-up! Picture this. Poke the yolk of the egg and watch the yellow goodness run down the sides of the fried rice as it envelopes it with tasty rich flavor. 😋
    • Instead of bacon, want to try it with spam? If you must, then go ahead! 😳
    • Do you love veggies? Peas, carrots, corn, scallions, green beans, or any of your favorites will work here. Fresh or frozen. If you want to save some time and skip the slicing and dicing, use frozen stir-fry vegetables!

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can you reheat Fried Rice?

    Yes. You can reheat this dish either on the stovetop or microwave.

    What cooking equipment do I need to make fried rice?

    You can use either a skillet or a wok.

    What kind of oil can I use to make fried rice?

    You can use any type of oil to make fried rice. We used the bacon grease to make this recipe, to impart the smokiness flavor of bacon to the dish.

    How can I store any of the leftovers?

    Promptly store any leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Alternatively, you can freeze any leftover fried rice in the freezer for up to 2 months.

    Instead of frying, can I bake the bacon?

    Yes. You can cook the bacon in the oven. Put the slices of bacon in a single layer on a cookie sheet, without preheating the oven. Once the oven temperature reaches 400 degrees Fahrenheit, set the timer for 1.5 minutes per slice of bacon. See "How to cook bacon in the oven" below.

    How to Cook Bacon In The Oven

    • A healthier and less messy way to cook bacon is to start it in a cold oven. Meaning, that without pre-heating the oven, put the slices of bacon in a single layer on a cookie sheet, then place them on the lower rack in the oven. Now turn the temperature to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
    • Don't set the timer until the oven "dings" and reaches the desired temperature. Depending on the number of slices, set the timer at one and a half minutes per slice. So with this recipe, since we're cooking six slices of bacon, set the timer for nine minutes.
    • NOTE: The oven temperature and thickness of bacon vary, so this will affect how long the bacon cooks. But overall, I've had many successes with the above procedure.

    Dishes That Will Pair Well With Fried Rice

    • Filipino Beef Steak (Bistek)
    • Caramelized Shrimp with 7 UP
    • Chicken Wings Adobo (Instant Pot)

    Ingredients

    • 6 Slices Bacon sliced ¼" thick
    • 1 Clove Garlic finely chopped
    • 2 Cups Cooked Long Grain Rice preferably a day or two days old
    • 2 Eggs
    • Salt & Pepper to Taste

    Instructions

    • In a wok over medium-high heat, add bacon (sliced ¼ inch thick). 
    • Add chopped garlic and sauté for about a minute. Try to get that garlic that nice golden color and with a slight crispness to it. Be careful not to burn it. Burnt garlic tastes bitter and you do not want that!
    • Add the rice. Toss everything together for about 2 minutes.
    • Add the eggs, stir, and toss all the ingredients together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

    Notes

    • Baking the bacon in the oven, lends a healthier benefit in that all of the grease drips out of the bacon and onto the pan.
    • Cooking time will vary depending on thickness of bacon. 
    • Long grain rice is a better choice for this recipe since long grain rice has less starch and when cooked it is less sticky and the grain separates - allowing for the garlic flavor to really blend in nicely with the rice.
    • For reason mentioned above, the older the rice (and has been in the refrigerator) allows for it to be drier and again will impart more of a garlicky flavor.
