6 slices bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 cup frozen French-cut green beans, thawed

2 teaspoons sesame oil

Provided by Mary Younkin

Categories     Main Course

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons bacon grease, or the oil of your choice, divided
3 eggs beaten
5 cups COLD cooked rice *
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce, plus more for serving
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 cups cooked chicken, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 cup cooked and crumbled bacon, about 1 lb bacon
2/3 cup frozen peas
3 green onions (sliced thin)
optional: kosher salt (only as needed.)

Steps:

  • Warm a tablespoon of bacon grease, or oil, in a large skillet over medium heat. Swirl the oil to coat the surface of the pan. Pour the eggs into the pan and tilt as needed to spread across the skillet. Let the eggs cook for 2-3 minutes and then flip them over. Cook one more minute. Slide the egg out of the skillet onto a cutting board and allow it to cool. Cut into 1/2-inch wide strips and then cut into small pieces.
  • Add the remaining tablespoon of grease, or oil, to the skillet and increase heat to medium high. Add the rice and stir to coat. Continue stirring and cooking for about 2 minutes. Add the soy sauce and sesame oil. Stir well, to distribute the sauce throughout the rice. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the rice is heated through.
  • Add the chicken, bacon, and peas. Stir and cook an additional 3-4 minutes, until everything is hot. Add the eggs and green onions to the skillet. Sprinkle with pepper. Stir gently to mix. Taste the rice and add salt, only if needed. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use day-old rice: Day-old rice is less moist and sticky, which makes it ideal for fried rice.
  • Cook the rice properly: The rice should be cooked through but still slightly firm. If the rice is too soft, it will become mushy when fried.
  • Use a well-seasoned wok or skillet: A well-seasoned wok or skillet will help to prevent the rice from sticking.
  • Add the ingredients in the correct order: The order in which you add the ingredients is important. Start with the aromatics (ginger, garlic, and onion), then add the protein, vegetables, and finally the rice.
  • Cook the rice over high heat: High heat will help to create a nice sear on the rice and prevent it from becoming mushy.
  • Don't overcrowd the wok or skillet: If you overcrowd the wok or skillet, the rice will not cook evenly.
  • Use a spatula to stir the rice: A spatula will help to prevent the rice from sticking to the wok or skillet.
  • Season the rice to taste: Season the rice with soy sauce, fish sauce, and white pepper to taste.
