Original Recipe Yield 4 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 1 1/3 cups uncooked white rice
  • 1 2/3 cups water
  • 3 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 3 teaspoons vegetable oil, divided
  • 1/4 pound bacon, cut into strips
  • 1/8 cup soy sauce
  • 1 (10 ounce) package frozen green peas, thawed
  • 2 green onions, chopped

Directions

  1. In a saucepan bring water to a boil. Add rice and stir. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, season eggs with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in small frying pan, pour in eggs. Coat the bottom of the pan with the eggs, in order to cook them evenly; cook for about 3 minutes. Flip the eggs, cook one minute more and remove them to a cool surface. Let them cool, then cut them into thin slices. Set aside.
  3. Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside.
  4. Spoon remaining 2 teaspoons oil into the skillet with the bacon fat. Stir in rice; break up any clumps and toss to coat with oil. Stir in bacon, soy sauce, peas, eggs and green onions. Stir and cook until heated through, approximately 3 minutes.
