BACON & BROCCOLI RICE BOWL RECIPE - (4.7/5)



Bacon & Broccoli Rice Bowl Recipe - (4.7/5) image

Provided by á-179723

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups white rice
6 slices bacon, chopped
1 head broccoli, florets cut into pieces, stems peeled and sliced
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil
4 large eggs
Kosher salt
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 scallions, sliced
2 tablespoons chopped pickled jalapenos

Steps:

  • Place the rice in a medium saucepan with 2 1/2 cups water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then cover, reduce the heat to medium and simmer until most of the water has been absorbed, about 6 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and cook 12 more minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, until ready to serve. Cook the bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Pour out all but about 1 tablespoon of the bacon drippings from the pan and increase the heat to medium high. Add the broccoli and cook, stirring occasionally, until charred in spots. Add 3/4 cup water and simmer until the broccoli is crisp-tender and only a few tablespoons of water remain, about 3 minutes. Stir in the soy sauce and 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil. Divide the rice and broccoli among bowls and drizzle with the pan juices. Heat the remaining 1 teaspoon sesame oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet, season with salt and fry as desired. Place an egg in each bowl and top with the bacon, cilantro, scallions and pickled jalapenos.

BACON AND BROCCOLI RICE BOWL



Bacon and Broccoli Rice Bowl image

Who says bacon and eggs can't be healthy? When used sparingly and in the right way, you need only a little. If you're in the mood for something a little fancier, dress this rice bowl up by poaching the egg instead of hard-cooking it.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 large eggs
4 strips bacon
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
5 cups cooked brown rice
4 cups small broccoli florets
2 scallions, sliced, white and green parts separated
2 scallions, sliced, white and green parts separated
1 medium carrot, shredded
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil

Steps:

  • Cover the eggs with about 1 inch of water in a small saucepan. Bring to a high simmer, cover and remove from heat. Let stand for 8 minutes. Run under cold water; peel and quarter each.
  • Meanwhile, arrange the bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium heat until golden brown and crisp, about 4 minutes per side. Remove the bacon from the skillet and chop into bite-size pieces.
  • Whisk together the chicken broth, soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large microwave-safe bowl. Add the rice, broccoli and scallion whites and toss to combine. Cover and microwave on high, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is crisp-tender and the rice is warmed through, about 6 minutes.
  • Divide the rice-broccoli mixture among four bowls. Top each with a quartered egg, bacon, carrot and scallion greens. Drizzle each with sesame oil.

Frozen broccoli rice is a great alternative for regular rice. Fried in bacon grease for taste and topped with crispy bacon bits for crunch makes this a great side dish.

First time I had this at a church potluck, another lady and I were nearly fighting over the last serving--it was SO good! So we took the empty bowl and went looking for the owner to BEG for the recipe. Here it is!

Provided by Debber

Categories     Pork

Time 30m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 slices bacon
3 bunches fresh broccoli (and cauliflower)
6 green onions (or one large onion)
1/2-1 cup raisins
1/2-1 cup nuts (cashews are the best!)
1 cup mayonnaise (no substitutes)
1/2 cup white sugar (or less)
1 1/2-2 tablespoons cider vinegar

Steps:

  • Fry the bacon; break into pieces; set aside.
  • Trim broccoli stems, cut into 1/2 - 1-inch pieces; cut flower ends into small pieces, too; put into a large serving bowl.
  • Slice green onions into the broccoli (large onion should be chopped).
  • Add raisins and nuts to the broccoli and onions; tossing well.
  • Add bacon now or wait until serving time if you don't like it to get soggy-ish.
  • DRESSING: Mix dressing ingredients in a small bowl until sugar dissolves.
  • Add dressing to the broccoli mixture; stir well to coat everything.
  • If you didn't add the bacon earlier, add it now.
  • Best served at room temperature.
  • OPTIONS: Leave out the raisins or nuts or bacon--just don't leave them all out at the same time. Instead of 3 bunches of broccoli, add some cauliflower--very pretty, too!

  • Serve the rice bowl immediately: The rice bowl is best served immediately after it is made, while the rice is still hot and the broccoli is still crisp.
