Mix in rice. Stir in soy sauce, a tablespoon at a time, until rice is evenly coated. Cook until rice is heated through, 3 to 5 minutes.

Steps:
- Add the rice to a medium saucepan and cover with water. Swish the rice with your fingers and then strain through a fine-mesh strainer. Repeat the process 2 more times. Place the washed rice back into the saucepan and add 1 1/2 cups water. Cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid and cook over medium-low heat until all the water has been absorbed and the rice is cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the heat and keep covered for an additional 10 to 15 minutes. (If using a rice cooker, follow the manufacturers' instructions.) Fluff the rice with a fork, transfer to a tray and allow to cool in the refrigerator until the rice is no longer sticky, about 2 hours.
- In a large skillet or wok, cook the bacon over high heat until crispy, about 10 minutes. Remove the cooked bacon and reserve about 2 tablespoons bacon fat in the skillet. Reserve the remaining bacon fat for another use.
- Return the skillet to high heat and add the sesame oil. Add the onions, garlic and ginger. Add 3/4 teaspoon salt and 3/8 teaspoon pepper and stir until the onions are translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the carrots, pineapple and remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt and 3/8 teaspoon pepper. Continue stirring until the pineapple and carrots are cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the sake, soy sauce and rice wine vinegar and continue stirring. Add the cooled rice and reserved bacon and continue stirring. If necessary, add a touch more bacon fat or oil to the pan to avoid sticking. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Transfer the fried rice to serving bowls and garnish with the scallions, cilantro and a sunny-side up egg on top.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the fried rice will be. Use fresh, crispy bacon, fluffy eggs, and fragrant rice.
- Cook the rice ahead of time. This will help the rice grains stay separate and prevent them from becoming mushy.
- Use a wok or large skillet. This will help you get a nice even cook on the rice.
- Heat the wok or skillet over high heat. This will help create a nice sear on the rice and prevent it from sticking.
- Add the ingredients in stages. Start with the bacon and eggs, then add the rice and vegetables. This will help prevent the ingredients from overcrowding the wok or skillet and ensure that they all cook evenly.
- Stir the rice constantly. This will help prevent it from sticking to the wok or skillet and ensure that it cooks evenly.
- Season the rice to taste. Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, or other seasonings to taste.
- Serve the rice immediately. Fried rice is best when served hot and fresh.
Conclusion:
Bacon fried rice is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover rice. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
