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.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
