This fried rice is so easy to make but will result in an absolutely delicious meal thanks to the succulent flavour of bacon. This is a good way to use up that open pack of bacon after you’ve made a continental breakfast.
Feel free to replace the bacon with luncheon meat or, for a halal version, use turkey bacon or any other form of processed meat. A few extra ingredients and voilà! You will have a simple meal for one.
Ingredients (non-halal)
- 3-4 stripes bacon
- 1 egg
- 1 clove garlic, chopped
- 1/2 stalk leek, finely sliced
- 1 cili padi, chopped (optional)
- 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
- 1 serving cooked rice
- 2-3 shiitake or button mushrooms, sliced
- cooking oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Method
- Heat up a frying pan and fry the bacon until it starts to crisp. Oil is not needed unless you are using turkey bacon or any other meat alternative.
- In the leftover oil, scramble the eggs lightly and set aside.
- Heat up some cooking oil if there is none left. Fry the garlic, leek, mushroom and cili padi.
- Add the rice and lightly stir-fry. Add dark soya sauce, salt and pepper, but go easy as the bacon is already salty.
- Finally, add the bacon and egg and mix thoroughly.
- Dish it up and serve hot.
Tip: You may replace the leek with spring onion.
