Steps:
- Heat a large skillet or wok over high heat, then add the 2 tablespoons of oil and the bacon. Cook the bacon, stirring occasionally, until crispy, about 2 minutes. Stir in the onion, garlic, carrots and snap peas and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften, about 1 minute.
- Add the eggs to the skillet, then add the rice directly into the wet egg. Using the back of a spatula or spoon, press the rice into the egg, fold and repeat until the rice is completely coated and heated through. Add the soy sauce and oyster sauce and stir to coat the rice. Season with a pinch of salt. Cook over high heat, stirring, until the rice is heated through, 2 to 4 minutes. Garnish with the scallions and some white pepper.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. Opt for organic or free-range eggs, thick-cut bacon, and premium soy sauce.
- Cook the rice ahead of time. This will save you time and ensure that the rice is perfectly cooked. You can cook the rice up to 24 hours in advance and store it in the refrigerator.
- Use a well-seasoned wok or large skillet. A well-seasoned wok will help prevent the rice from sticking and will give it a nice smoky flavor. If you don't have a wok, you can use a large skillet instead.
- Cook the bacon and eggs first. This will help to render the bacon fat and give the eggs a chance to cook through. Once the bacon and eggs are cooked, remove them from the wok or skillet and set aside.
- Add the rice and vegetables to the wok or skillet. Stir-fry the rice and vegetables until they are heated through. Be sure to season the rice with soy sauce, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Add the bacon and eggs back to the wok or skillet. Stir everything together until well combined.
- Serve immediately. Bacon and egg fried rice is best served hot and fresh out of the wok or skillet.

Bacon and egg fried rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal.
