The very best fried rice you can make at home! Despite being unconventional, the bacon gives the dish a little more crispness. This goes well with meat or chicken.

Ingredients
- 1 ⅓ cups uncooked white rice
- 1 ⅔ cups water
- 3 eggs, lightly beaten
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 3 teaspoons vegetable oil, divided
- ¼ pound bacon, cut into strips
- ⅛ cup soy sauce
- 1 (10 ounce) package frozen green peas, thawed
- 2 green onions, chopped
Instructions
- In a saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add rice and stir. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, season eggs with salt and pepper.
- Heat 1 teaspoon oil in small frying pan. Pour in eggs. Coat the bottom of the pan evenly with eggs; cook for about 3 minutes. Flip eggs, cook 1 minute more, and transfer them to a cool surface. Let cool, then cut into thin slices. Set aside.
- Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until evenly browned. Drain, crumble, and set aside.
- Spoon remaining 2 teaspoons oil into the skillet with the bacon fat. Stir in cooked rice; break up any clumps and toss to coat with oil. Stir in bacon, soy sauce, peas, eggs, and green onions. Stir and cook until heated through, approximately 3 minutes.

Love this recipe.
Made this for my family tonight. It was good but needed more than 1/8 cup of soy sauce. Next time I will add a lot more.
Loved it. We added ham instead of bacon for a less fatty dish. We also added 1/2 teaspoon of curry powder for zing! We think we’ll add pineapple next for a little sweet.
Easy to make and delicious as a side or on its own. My whole family thought it was great!
Added Bean Sprouts!
Love, Love LOVE this! My husband thought it was the best ever and he is one fussy guy! I didn’t have the green onions so I sautéed regular chopped onions in the oil before adding the rice etc and we really liked it this way. Will definitely be making again.
This was delicious! I used pork instead of
A tad greasy. I will not use the oil next time
simply amazing and super easy!
I use this recipe for fried rice all the time, sometimes without the bacon, and it’s always delicious!
Very good. Thanks for sharing recipe.
This was delicious! Our family is not a fan of peas so we added carrots, onions, and corn instead. Very easy to make and very yummy!
It turned out great, even though I obviously can’t follow a recipe.
I substituted the bacon for tofu marinated in soy sauce, and then cooked the egg together with the veggie mixture. Added rice once the egg was about halfway done cooking. Oh and I also added shredded carrots
Sooooo easy. Pretty much followed recipe, but added ham, shrimp, cabbage, garlic and bit of sesame seed oil. I doubled my recipe as I made a trough of rice. We greatly enjoyed it, and will def be making again. Thx for sharing.
Wow. I really didn’t expect this to turn out as flavorful and the right kind of flavor for fried rice as it did. I didn’t have peas so had to do without but followed the rest exactly and it was just so darn good! A little soy on top when serving and this was perfect. Light, not heavy or greasy and good flavor.
Easy and very tasty. I had some ham leftover that I tossed in but otherwise followed recipe. Saved it to use again!
This was EXCELLENT! Only recommendation….Ive seen other recipes that call for rice to be cooked ahead of time so it is cold when added to pan. I had some on hand and it was perfect. Rice was not clumpy and sticky. Family gobbled this up.
This is a wonderfully easy recipe and I tend to be a little more liberal on the soy sauce simply due to taste.
The fried rice was very good. It was a bit bland. We will make it again with day old rice and more spices.
This recipe is great I just made a few changers for meat I added shrimp I also cooked double the rice my family loves it instead of green onion I cut up a yellow onion. It really does not matter what you add it still would be great.
