I found this recipe while looking for a quick and simple dish for movie night at my crib. This dish is reminiscent of stir fry or fried rice from a takeout spot, except its homemade. I adapted this recipe from FoodNetwork.com, it would be great with chicken or shrimp exchanged for the bacon.  All three  would be great if you’re really feeling yourself. Top with chili sauce, and enjoy with your favorite wine or cocktail. This one’s def going into the rotation.

INGREDIENTS (makes 4 servings)

Vegetable oil

1/4 lb bacon cut into 1/4 inch pieces

3/4 tsp sugar

2 1/4 tbsp soy sauce

3 thinly slice garlic cloves

1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (or less if you prefer less spicy)

1/4 cup onion

1 1/2 cups stir fry vegetables (broccoli, slice carrots, snap peas)

2 or 3 cups cooked rice

1/4 cup chicken broth

1/4 cup scallions for garnish

Chili sauce for serving

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Heat a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add bacon and cook until crisp and golden brown. Transfer to a separate bowl.

2. While waiting on the bacon to cook, combine 1/4 cup chicken broth, 2 1/4 tbsp soy sauce, and sugar. Whisk together in a small bowl and put aside.

3. Discard most of the bacon grease, add enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom of the pan, about a 1/2 inch.

4. Add onion, garlic and red pepper flakes to the oil. Cook until the onions begin to soften.

5. Add broccoli, carrots, and snap peas. Cook until vegetables become just tender.

6. Remove vegetables, transfer to bacon bowl. Add enough oil to pan to coat the bottom. Add egg and scramble.

7. Remove egg and place in bowl with veggies and bacon. If the pan is dry, add a little bit of vegetable oil to coat the pan. Add the 2 – 3 cups of cooked rice.

8. Coat the rice with the oil. Throw in the veggies, bacon, and eggs. Add the 1/4 cup chicken broth, soy sauce, and sugar mixture to the rice. Toss together until everything is mixed and heated through. Garnish with scallions. Serve with Chili Sauce.

Bon Apetit!
