Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 ⅓ cups uncooked white rice
1 ⅔ cups water
3 eggs, lightly beaten
¼ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
3 teaspoons vegetable oil, divided
¼ pound bacon, cut into strips
⅛ cup soy sauce
1 (10 ounce) package frozen green peas, thawed
2 green onions, chopped

Steps:

In a saucepan bring water to a boil. Add rice and stir. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, season eggs with salt and pepper.
Heat 1 teaspoon oil in small frying pan, pour in eggs. Coat the bottom of the pan with the eggs, in order to cook them evenly; cook for about 3 minutes. Flip the eggs, cook one minute more and remove them to a cool surface. Let them cool, then cut them into thin slices. Set aside.
Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside.
Spoon remaining 2 teaspoons oil into the skillet with the bacon fat. Stir in rice; break up any clumps and toss to coat with oil. Stir in bacon, soy sauce, peas, eggs and green onions. Stir and cook until heated through, approximately 3 minutes.
