Ingredients

  1. 6 slices bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  2. 1 cup frozen French-cut green beans, thawed
  3. ½ onion, roughly chopped
  4. 2 cloves garlic, minced
  5. 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  6. 1 large egg, beaten
  7. 3 cups cold cooked rice
  8. 1 tablespoon soy sauce, or more to taste

Instructions

  1. Place bacon in a large, deep skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally until just beginning to brown, about 7 minutes. Drain all but 1 to 2 teaspoons of bacon grease from the skillet. Add green beans, onion, and garlic. Sauté until bacon is crisp and green beans and onions are softened, about 3 minutes.
  2. Push bacon mixture to one side of the skillet; heat sesame oil on the empty side, about 30 seconds. Pour in egg; cook until just set, about 1 minute. Stir into bacon mixture to combine.
  3. Mix in rice. Stir in soy sauce until rice is evenly coated. Cook until rice is heated through, 3 to 5 minutes.

I followed this exactly, but replaced the green beans with frozen peas. I served this as a side for baked salmon at Sunday dinner. It got rave reviews. This one has already earned a spot on my go-to favorites list.

Made this exactly as is and it was really, really good! Came together quickly too. Will definitely make again!

Hubby and I both loved this fried rice. Took me a while to make b/c I started by picking the green beans from my garden. Didn’t have quite the full amount so added a little broccoli (also from my garden). Also added diced water chestnuts for a little crunch, used 2 eggs. Did not measure the low sodium soy sauce but was probably almost 2 TBS. Easy recipe to customize to your tastes and oh, so delicious. TY for posting.

I’ve reviewed this once before but since, I’ve made it several more times. This is my husbands favorite dinner. I use canned green beans, French or cut, whatever I have on hand. We use 3-4 eggs (because we love eggs), a whole package of bacon and a whole small onion. Diced green onions are a nice garnish if you’re an onion lover. Great recipe and a regular in our house.

I was a bit worried that it would be too much sesame oil (since it can have a really overpowering flavour) so I cut it down, but I think you can use the amount in recipe without worrying!! I also doubled the veggies ???? definitely a do again

Best fried rice I have ever made. I had 2 containers of left over Chinese white rice. I measured it out to 6 cups. I added 2 cups of frozen mixed vegies instead of just green beans. I also added 1 Tbs Rice Vinegar just before adding rice. It gave it a nice added flavor.

This is my favorite meal to make. It’s my go to breakfast meal on the weekends

Great for a quick weeknight meal. Had all the ingredients in the fridge so very convenient for me.

Absolutely fantastic. I noticed a lot of the other reviewers added veggies they had on hand. The recipe lends itself to all of it – whatever you choose. We live in TN where bacon is a God-given right! This recipe nails it all the way!

I used turkey bacon and added some peppers. Very good. Next time I’ll try brown rice and cut bacon and veg’s. into 1/2 in pieces. Corn and extra egg would be good too.
Ronald Mendez
So quick and easy to make! Loved this recipe the only change was I had peas in the freezer and we used them instead of the Beans. We loved this recipe!
