Savory & Aromatic Bacon Fried Rice
Effortless One-Bowl Meal: Delicious Bacon Fried Rice
Here’s a recipe for bacon fried rice that’s perfect for a quick and satisfying lunch. This easy-to-follow dish combines the salty goodness of bacon with the fragrant aroma of garlic and the fresh crunch of green onions for a wonderfully flavorful experience.
Main Ingredients- 4 strips bacon, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- A handful of green onions, chopped
Seasoning- 1/2 Tbsp tuna extract (or soy sauce)
- A pinch of black pepper
- 1/2 Tbsp tuna extract (or soy sauce)
- A pinch of black pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare all your ingredients. Thinly slice the garlic cloves and finely chop the green onions. Cut the bacon into bite-sized pieces for a pleasant texture in every mouthful.
Step 2
Heat a lightly oiled pan over medium-low heat. Add the sliced garlic and sauté until golden brown and fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic, as this will affect the overall flavor.
Step 3
Once the garlic is golden, add the prepared bacon to the pan and stir-fry together. The bacon will release its fat, creating a rich, savory base that complements the garlic. Cook until the bacon is nicely browned and crispy.
Step 4
When the bacon is cooked to your liking, add the chopped green onions. Stir-fry quickly for about 30 seconds until they are fragrant but still retain some crunch. We want to keep their fresh flavor and texture.
Step 5
Now it’s time to add the rice. Add warm cooked rice to the pan. Sprinkle with black pepper and drizzle with 1/2 tablespoon of tuna extract (or soy sauce). Tuna extract adds a wonderful umami depth to the dish.
Step 6
Stir-fry the rice, breaking up any clumps with your spatula, until it’s heated through and slightly toasted. It’s best to cook over medium-high heat to ensure the rice grains are separated and not mushy. Serve your delicious bacon fried rice in a bowl and enjoy!
