This twist on a traditional fried rice brings bacon and eggs to the forefront and highlights that eggs are for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Ingredients

  • 2 fried eggs
  • 4 slices bacon, chopped
  • 2 cups (500 mL) baby spinach
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) ginger, grated
  • 1 ½ cups (375 mL) white rice, cooked
  • 2 tsp (10 mL) sesame oil
  • 2 tsp (10 mL) canola oil
  • 1 ½ tbsp (25 mL) soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) rice vinegar
  • ¼ cup (60 mL) green onion, thinly sliced

Instructions

  • Step 1

    In a large nonstick sauté pan on medium heat, cook the bacon until it starts to get crispy. Add in the garlic and ginger and continue cooking for one minute.

  • Step 2

    Add the canola oil to the pan and then add in the cooked rice. Allow for the rice to get browned, stirring every so often.

  • Step 3

    Once the rice is browned, add in the soy sauce and rice vinegar.

  • Step 4

    Stir in the spinach until wilted and drizzle with sesame oil.

  • Step 5

    Remove from the pan and separate the fried rice into two dishes. Top each dish with a fried egg and sprinkle with green onions.
