— HOW TO MAKE —
① High heat the whole time
From start to finish, I cook this on high heat.
② Cook the bacon first
Cook until the bacon releases plenty of fat.
I usually don’t add extra oil — just bacon fat.
③ Add the eggs
Crack the eggs directly into the bacon fat.
The important part is NOT fully mixing the eggs.
Some soft parts, some cooked parts…
that texture makes fried rice better.
④ Add the rice
Add the rice and mix by cutting through it instead of smashing it.
The goal is to keep the rice light and separate.
⑤ Season it
Add salt, black pepper, soy sauce, and sake.
Optional MSG or chicken powder.
⑥ Add green onion last
Toss in the green onion at the end and cook briefly.
Extra black pepper is great on top.
Ketchup, seaweed, bonito flakes, garlic powder, and curry powder also work surprisingly well.
If you don’t like MSG, you don’t need to use it.
But personally… I think it tastes better with a little 😌
