Fried Rice With Bacon, Scallions and Water Chestnuts image

This is very tasty and pretty quick too. I have used brown rice in place of the white rice and that works just as well. Not always for your Asian dinners, this goes well with traditional pork and chicken dishes too. This is adapted from Gourmet magazine, Jan. 1999.

This fried rice was easy to make and very flavorful. I used leftover rice and it turned out great. I added some chopped green onions and red peppers to the mix and it was even better. I will definitely be making this again.
