BACON AND EGGS
Bacon and Eggs are a marriage made in heaven! In this recipe, you will need 4 Eggs in total. I use a special technique in Chinese cooking when it comes to fried rice.
Two Eggs are mixed with the cooked rice before cooking and the other two are wok-fried with other ingredients. In this way, chefs ensure that the fried rice is well coated with the Eggs when cooking. The other Eggs will form into nice recognizable pieces in the rice. Please check out my video for more specific details.
INGREDIENTS
Jasmine Riceย โ This is my favorite kind of rice. You can also use Basmati rice. I love to cook my rice the day Iโm making the fried rice. If you have any leftover rice too, great!
Bacon – Either kind of Bacon should work. Buy the regular kind from your local supermarkets.
Eggs – I use four eggs in this recipe. Eggs are must-have for a good and classic Chinese fried rice.
Light Soy Sauceย โ This is one of the must-have Asian sauces that you need to have in your kitchen. Lee Kum Kee is my favorite brand for this. You can use other brands too.
Vegetable Oilย โ I love using this for frying. I normally use Rapeseed Oil. You can also try Sunflower Oil. Do not use Olive Oil.
Sugarย โ You might be surprised how good is it to add sugar in the fried rice. Its caramelization just makes the fried rice extra delicious.
Green Onionsย โ or called Spring Onions. This is great for garnishing at the end. It adds beautiful green color and it is rich in healthy nutrients.
Garlicย โ It adds a wonderful garlicky flavor. In my view, garlic just makes everything better.
Butter – Regular butter works just fine here. You can also use vegan butter if you prefer.
Black Pepper – A little peppery flavor here just makes the fried rice taste better.
Parmesan Cheese – A little bit of fusion element added here. You will be surprised to find out how good it blends in.

Haini’s Tips
โข I like to cook my rice the same day when I make fried rice. You can always use leftover rice to make fried rice. Either way, it will turn out great! โข When the rice just starts to boil, turn down the heat to medium or medium-low and continue to cook until the water is well absorbed. โข It is important not to open the lid while the rice is cooking.
I hope you will enjoy making this Bacon and Egg Fried Rice recipe. This Fried Rice is an absolute delight! The aroma is enticing and the flavors are well blended. I love how Bacon provides an extra crispy taste to the fried rice! Moreover, the Spring Onions add a very nice green color and the taste of the Eggs infuses itself into the rice in a simple but splendid way! Doesn’t it sound wonderful?
