Chinese food and breakfast come together for this Bacon & Egg fried rice, and it's perfection--and it's a totally valid excuse to eat fried rice for breakfast!

Ingredients
- 1 cup white rice
- 1-2/3 cup water 72°-75°
- 8 ounces bacon
- 4 eggs
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 - 3 green onions thinly sliced or minced
Servings: 4 as a side
Instructions
- Dump the rice into a fine mesh sieve and rinse under cold water until the water runs completely clear. Toss the rice around periodically to make sure every grain is rinsed of its starch.
- Combine the rice with the water in a 10 inch frying pan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, reduce the heat to the lowest flame on the lowest burner, cover, and steam for 12 – 15 minutes without peaking.
- Remove the lid, fluff gently with a fork, and allow it to cool before retiring to the fridge. This needs to be completely cold before frying, otherwise the rice turns gloopy.
- Snip the bacon into medium-sized chunks straight into a wok. Put it over medium-high heat, and let it cook tossing it around occasionally to make sure it cooks evenly. After a few minutes turn the heat down and continue tossing to help render out the fat. Once it’s all cooked and crisped, remove the bacon from the wok with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate.
- Remove all but about 1 – 1 ½ tablespoons bacon fat from the pan, but DO NOT discard it. Beat the eggs to combine in a separate bowl and add to the hot wok, cooking fast and hot. You want to cook them about 75% of the way through and no more. Remove them to a separate plate.
- Get the wok hot again, and add another 2 tablespoons or so of the reserve bacon fat. Let it get hot before dumping in the rice, tossing to slick them in the bacon fat and toast them a little.
- Pour in the soy sauce, toss, add in the eggs, toss, bacon, toss. Shut off the heat, fold in the green onions and serve immediately.
