Bacon veggie fried riceINGREDIENTS

1 1/3 cups uncooked white rice

1 2/3 cups water

3 eggs, lightly beaten

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

3 teaspoons vegetable oil, divided

1/4 pound bacon, cut into strips

1/8 cup soy sauce

1 (10 ounce) package frozen green peas, thawed

2 green onions, chopped

DIRECTIONS

In a saucepan bring water to a boil. Add rice and stir. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, season eggs with salt and pepper. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in small frying pan, pour in eggs. Coat the bottom of the pan with the eggs, in order to cook them evenly; cook for about 3 minutes. Flip the eggs, cook one minute more and remove them to a cool surface. Let them cool, then cut them into thin slices. Set aside.

Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside.

Spoon remaining 2 teaspoons oil into the skillet with the bacon fat. Stir in rice; break up any clumps and toss to coat with oil. Stir in bacon, soy sauce, peas, eggs and green onions. Stir and cook until heated through, approximately 3 minutes.
