Step-by-Step Instructions for Hearty Breakfast Fried Rice
  1. Cook the Bacon: Begin by placing a large skillet over medium heat and adding your diced bacon. Cook the bacon until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Scramble the Eggs: In a bowl, beat the eggs with kosher salt and ground pepper. Pour the eggs into the rendered bacon fat and scramble for about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Sauté the Aromatics: In the same skillet, melt butter. Add chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute.
  4. Fry the Rice: Add cold, cooked rice to the skillet, breaking up clumps. Cook undisturbed for about 4-5 minutes for a crispy texture.
  5. Incorporate the Flavors: Pour soy sauce over the rice and stir. Add frozen peas, carrots, and corn, cooking for another 3-4 minutes.
  6. Combine and Serve: Fold in the cooked bacon and scrambled eggs. Sprinkle chopped green onions on top and serve hot.
