How to Make Bacon Garlic Fried Rice
- If using freshly cooked rice, spread it on a baking sheet to cool completely. This prevents the rice from becoming mushy.
- In a large skillet or wok, cook bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon and set aside, reserving about 2 tablespoons of bacon grease.
- Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- Add cooked rice to the skillet and break up any clumps. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes.
- Pour in soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Stir-fry to combine.
- Add the cooked bacon back to the skillet along with the green onions. Stir-fry until heated through.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more soy sauce for saltiness or sesame oil for richness.
- Serve immediately and garnish with extra green onions, if desired.
