Bacon Pan Fried Rice is an easy light meal that is full of flavor.

One batch of Bacon Pan Fried rice can easily fill a family of 5 for an evening meal. Or you can team it up with other favorite Asian entrees (like potstickers, orange chicken, beef broccoli etc) and have lots of yummy leftovers. I love that I can make this dish in less than 30 minutes and that my whole family enjoys it (even my picky 5-year-old.)

Notes

Depending on the fat content of your bacon you might need to add a bit more oil to your pan to better cook the Onion and Eggs. If I need to add extra oil I usually do just a small amount of olive or Avacado oil.

I usually cook up my rice in a rice cooker so that it is just finished cooking when I am ready to add it to the bacon, eggs, and onions. However, you can cook it in a pot if you don't have a rice cooker. The key is to start the rice cooking first so you can prepare and cook the other ingredients while the rice is cooking then just mix them all together in the end before serving.

If you are wanting to switch things up and make this fried rice with different meat than bacon you will just need to cook that meat first in a bit of oil (like chicken or shrimp) then set it aside while you sautee up the onions in oil. After the onions are done, add the meat back in and move to the sides of the pan to cook the eggs. The rest of the recipe is the same.

A couple of months ago a friend showed me how good this fried rice is wrapped in a small sheet of seaweed and now I am addicted. I bought a big box full of small seaweed sheets from our local Asain store to pull out and use when we make fried rice now. My kids, however, prefer theirs without seaweed. That's ok, more for me then.
