Bacon Fried Rice

There’s something awesomely satisfying about fried rice. Not to mention it’s incredibly versatile. The only thing that seems constant is the rice.

This fried rice is awesome. Ask me why. Go on, ask me. Well, since you asked so nicely I’ll tell you. It is awesome because it has BACON.


Gratuitous bacon shot for all you bacon freaks. You know who you are.


It’s so easy to make. Rice, vegetables, bacon, and of course, a couple of eggs for additional goodness. Don’t they look so cute nestled between all the color?


Mingle my friends. Become part of the bacon-y rice-y goodness. Do not question my diction.

Bacon Fried Rice:

1½ cups cooked rice
½ cup frozen mixed vegetables
2 eggs
1/3 cup crumbled cooked bacon
¼ to 1/3 cup soy sauce
1 tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste

Fry roughly 9 or 10 strips of bacon. Set on a towel to cool and drain. In the meantime, add cooked rice to bacon grease. Cook over medium heat until warmed through. Crumble the cooked bacon and add to rice along with mixed vegetables and garlic powder. Allow to heat through, stirring occasionally. Clear a small circle in the center of the rice and crack two eggs into the space. Let them cook for 30 or so seconds before mixing thoroughly into the rice. Add soy sauce, salt (if you find it necessary), and pepper. Mix thoroughly and allow to heat for another 2 minutes to be sure the egg has cooked.

Serve and enjoy!
