Fried Rice: Now to start frying up that rice! Add another tablespoon of bacon grease to the skillet and then pour in the cold cooked rice. Stir the rice up in the bacon grease to coat it and continue cooking while stirring often for five minutes.
Egg: In a small bowl, beat together the egg and a teaspoon of the soy sauce. Then push aside the rice in the skillet to make room for the eggs. Pour those in and stir to scramble. When they’ve cooked through, stir them in with the rice until it is all combined!
Finish: You can now finally add back in the cooked vegetables and the fried bacon! Pour on the rest of the soy sauce and as much sriracha or hot sauce as you like and then mix everything together until the rice, veggies, and bacon are combined.
Serve: This bacon fried rice makes an excellent meal and will serve two people as a main dish or four as a side dish. If you make it as a main, I suggest serving it with some egg rolls or pot stickers.
My sausage egg rolls would be particularly good with this and the egg roll sauce would be great served over the rice, if you wanted a break from plain old soy sauce.
My kids prefer their rice slathered in copious amounts of Yum Yum Sauce. You can find Yum Yum here – they like the original flavor, but I prefer the spicy version.
