Ingredients
  

  • 3 slices bacon
  • 6 mushrooms sliced
  • 3 eggs slightly beaten
  • 2 green onions finely chopped
  • 1¼ cups meat finely diced (pork, chicken, ham, beef or shrimp)
  • ½ pound fresh bean sprouts
  • 3 cups cooked rice
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • salt to taste
  • 1 dash black pepper

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Cutting board
  • Mixing bowl

Method
 

  1. Cook the bacon until lightly browned but still pliable. Set the bacon aside but keep the drippings in the pan.
  2. Pour the beaten eggs into the warm bacon drippings and scramble gently. Once just set, remove from the pan and chop very finely.
  3. Add the cooked rice to the same pan and stir-fry for about 5 minutes, keeping it moving constantly to create crispy bits mixed with tender grains.
  4. Add the diced meat, chopped green onions, bean sprouts, sliced mushrooms, salt, black pepper, and soy sauce to the pan. Crumble in the reserved bacon.
  5. Mix everything well, ensuring each grain of rice gets coated with sauce and combined with all other ingredients. Continue cooking for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  6. Serve steaming hot for the best flavor experience.

Notes

This dish is incredibly versatile - feel free to customize with your favorite protein or leftover meat. Vegetarians can substitute extra mushrooms or tofu for the meat. For a spicier version, add a teaspoon of sriracha or chili oil. Day-old rice works best for this recipe as it's drier and creates better texture. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in a skillet for best results.
For an authentic variation, try using Chinese sausage (lap cheong) instead of bacon, or add kimchi for a Korean-inspired twist.
