Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons butter (divided)
- 6 strips bacon (cut into ½ pieces)
- 2 eggs (whisked)
- ¼ cup minced shallot
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- 4 cups cooked and cooled rice
- 2/3 cup frozen peas
- 3 green onions (sliced)
- 4 Tablespoons low sodium soy sauce (or tamari)
- 2 teaspoons oyster sauce
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the bacon, until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and let drain on paper towels.
- Remove all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat from the skillet and increase the heat to medium-high. Add eggs and scramble. Once fully cooked, remove from pan and set aside.
- Add 1 tablespoon butter to the now-empty skillet and heat until melted. Add the shallot and season with salt and pepper. Sautee for 2-3 minutes, until the shallot has softened. Add the garlic and cook 30 seconds longer, until fragrant.
- Increase the heat to high and add in remaining tablespoon butter. Once melted, add the rice, peas, green onions, soy sauce and oyster sauce, stir to combine.
- Fry over high heat for approximately 3 minutes, until it’s getting nice and brown, and crispy.
- Add the bacon and eggs and stir to combine. Serve immediately.
Notes
Storage + Freezing:
Leftover fried rice will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Or, store it in the freezer for up to three months. I like to package it into individual Ziploc sandwich bags and freeze it laying flat.
To cook frozen fried rice, thaw it overnight in the fridge. Then, heat 1 Tablespoon oil in a medium skillet. Add fried rice and cook until warmed through, about 5-7 minutes.
