Instructions
Instructions
- Line a plate with paper towels.
- Cook the bacon in a cold 12-inch skillet or wok over medium heat until crisp, about 10 minutes. Transfer it to the prepared plate and leave 2 tablespoons bacon fat in the pan.
- Beat the eggs with the salt and pepper. Add them to the skillet, scramble until just set, then transfer them to a bowl.
- Increase the heat to medium-high. Melt the butter, then sauté the onion until translucent, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the rice and toss with the onion and garlic. Spread it into an even layer and fry undisturbed for 4 to 5 minutes.
- Pour in the soy sauce, loosen the rice, and stir. Add the frozen vegetables and sesame oil; toss until hot and the rice looks dry.
- Remove from the heat and fold in the bacon, scrambled eggs, and green onions. Serve immediately.
