Ingredients for Bacon And Egg Rice

  • Long Grain White Rice
  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • 4 slices bacon, chopped
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Black Pepper
  • 1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • Scallion
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

How to Make Bacon And Egg Rice

  1. Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine rice and water in a 3-quart saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed.
  2. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
  3. Fluff the rice with a fork.
  4. While the rice cooks, cook bacon in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until golden and crisp (about 6-8 minutes).
  5. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon; set aside. Reserve 3 tablespoons of bacon grease in the skillet.
  6. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  7. Add the chopped onion to the skillet with the reserved bacon grease. Sauté over medium-high heat until pale golden (about 5 minutes).
  8. Pour in the whisked eggs and cook, stirring gently, until just set (about 1 minute).
  9. Create a well in the center of the egg mixture. Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and 2 tablespoons of reserved bacon grease to the well.
  10. Add the cooked rice, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Stir to combine and cook for 2 minutes.
  11. Stir in the cooked bacon, scallions, and sesame oil. Cook for another minute, until heated through.
  12. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
