Mix in beaten eggs and stir until well combined. Cook until eggs are completely scrambled into broccoli rice mixture. Turn off heat and stir in soy sauce.

Steps:
- Heat a large saute pan over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of the oil. Add the bacon and cook until almost crispy. Add the broccoli and saute until starting to turn bright green and soften, about 2 minutes. (Other vegetables may take a little longer.) Add the garlic and nuts and cook an additional 2 minutes. Add the vinegar and toss together. Transfer the broccoli mixture to a large bowl.
- Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the pan and raise the heat to high. Add the rice and let cook until crisp, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook until crisp on the other side, about 2 minutes more.

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. Meanwhile, 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 GARLIC FRIED RICE
This is the fried rice I grew up with. I was never sure if it was just a Filipino recipe or an adaptation my mother made being in the South (US) but all I know is I've never met anyone that didn't like this fried rice and people always beg me for the recipe. The prep time below assumes you already have left over rice in the fridge, but there's instructions for cooling your cooked rice too.

Steps:
- Slice the bacon slices cross ways into small slivers. This works well if you keep your bacon frozen. Thaw enough to slice and then just slice off your pieces of bacon across so you have a bunch of thin strips. Fry the slivers of bacon in a large wok or pan and then remove the bacon to drain on a paper towel. Reserve some of the bacon fat, about 2-4 tbsp, or use vegetable oil, or use a mixture.
- Lightly fry the garlic in the bacon fat/oil in the same pan you fried the bacon. Don't let the garlic get brown. Add the cold rice and the peas and carrots and let it all warm at high temperature and break up the big pieces of rice. It's ok for there to be some clumps of rice remaining. It is important your rice is cold when you start or the fried rice will get gluey and mushy. Day old rice is best, but if you want to make your rice fresh and then fry it, cook the rice and put in a flat baking pan in the freezer to cool for 30-60 minutes first.
- After about 5 minutes, or once the rice is heated through make a well in the center of your rice. Add your eggs and stir them slightly. I like to cook the egg most of the way through in the well, and then slowly bring in the remaining rice which gives some eggy chunks as well as a light coating of egg on some of the rice. Another option is to lightly fry the scrambled egg separately first and then add it to the fried rice.
- The last step is to add the soy sauce, crumble bacon pieces over, mix, taste and add salt if desired.
- This fried rice is surprisingly simple, but really awesome. I always use the frozen peas/carrots, but other veggies can work. Never use canned veggies, and ones that release water (like tomatoes, mushrooms, zucchini, squash) can be tricky, because your rice can get mushy. Fresh carrots, broccoli, snap peas, bell pepper, frozen/fresh corn have been tried and all work.

EASY BACON FRIED RICE
This is a fried rice recipe that I luckily created from practically threadbare cabinets one evening. It's the epitome of comfort food and is a breeze to make. The green beans really complement the flavors but feel free to use any veggie you have on hand. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Place bacon in a large, deep skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until just beginning to brown, about 7 minutes. Drain all but 1 to 2 teaspoons of bacon grease from the skillet. Add green beans, onion, and garlic; saute until bacon is crisp and green beans and onions are softened, about 3 minutes.
- Push bacon mixture to one side of the skillet; heat sesame oil on the empty side, about 30 seconds. Pour in egg; cook until just set, about 1 minute. Stir into bacon mixture to combine. Mix in rice. Stir in soy sauce, a tablespoon at a time, until rice is evenly coated. Cook until rice is heated through, 3 to 5 minutes.

Tips:
- Choose the right rice: For the best results, use day-old rice. Freshly cooked rice will be too moist and sticky.
- Cook the bacon until it's crispy: This will give the broccoli rice a nice smoky flavor.
- Use fresh broccoli: Fresh broccoli will have the best flavor and texture. If you're using frozen broccoli, be sure to thaw it completely before cooking.
- Don't overcook the broccoli: Broccoli should be cooked until it's tender-crisp. If you overcook it, it will become mushy.
- Season the rice to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a drizzle of soy sauce.
Conclusion:
Bacon fried broccoli rice is a quick and easy side dish that's perfect for any occasion. It's healthy, delicious, and sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new side dish to try, give bacon fried broccoli rice a try. You won't be disappointed!
