CRISPY FRIED RICE WITH BACON AND CABBAGE



Crispy Fried Rice With Bacon and Cabbage image

This easy, hearty weeknight meal gets a lot of its brawny richness from just a small amount of bacon. The soft, wilted cabbage lends sweetness, while the kimchi (a nod toward bokkeumbap) zips things up. The secret to getting a crackling, crunchy texture is letting the rice sit in the hot oil without touching it until it browns, but using leftover rice also helps. (As the rice dries out, it crisps more easily.) If you're starting from scratch, just cook 2 cups of dry rice to yield the 6 cups of cooked rice called for here. Then spread the rice out on a baking sheet and let it cool and dehydrate a bit before frying. Be sure to have everything ready and near the stove when before you start. The cooking goes fast, and there won't be any time to prepare ingredients once you get going.

Categories     weekday, grains and rice, main course

Time 25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

5 tablespoons neutral oil, such as grapeseed or sunflower, plus more as needed
3 slices thick-cut bacon, in 1/2-inch pieces (about 3 ounces)
1 small bunch scallions, whites and greens separated, sliced
4 cups shredded cabbage (from about 1/2 small head)
Salt
4 garlic cloves, minced
6 cups cooked rice, white or brown, preferably day-old
2 1/2 tablespoons fish sauce, plus more as needed
1/2 tablespoon soy sauce, plus more as needed
1/2 cup kimchi, drained and chopped, plus more for serving if you like
1/2 cup green peas (thawed, if frozen)
4 fried eggs, for serving (optional)
Toasted sesame oil, for drizzling (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high, heat 2 tablespoons oil until almost smoking. Stir in bacon, and cook, stirring constantly, until bacon is golden, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a heatproof bowl, leaving as much oil in the skillet as you can.
  • Add scallion whites to the pan. Cook until soft, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes. If the pan looks dry, drizzle in a little more oil, then stir in cabbage and a pinch of salt. Cook, continuing to stir frequently, until cabbage is soft, 2 to 4 minutes. Stir in garlic, and cook until fragrant, another 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to the bowl with the bacon.
  • Add remaining 3 tablespoons oil to skillet and raise heat to high. Add rice, and a large pinch of salt, then toss thoroughly to coat with oil. Spread out rice in an even layer along the bottom (and sides if in a wok), and drizzle fish sauce and soy sauce over. Let rice sit until sizzling stops and it starts to crackle and crisp, 1 to 4 minutes. Toss, taste, and add more fish sauce or soy sauce if necessary.
  • Fold in bacon mixture, kimchi and peas, then transfer to plates. Top with scallion greens, more kimchi to taste, and fried eggs, if using. Drizzle everything with sesame oil and soy sauce, if you like, and serve immediately.

BACON GARLIC FRIED RICE



Bacon Garlic Fried Rice image

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.

Provided by MC Baker

Categories     Long Grain Rice

Time 23m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 lb bacon
5 cups cooked long-grain rice (can use other rice, but long or medium grain rice is all I ever use)
6 garlic cloves, smashed and diced (use approximately half a bulb. heavy garlic is necessary for me, but cut back if you like)
1 1/2 cups frozen peas and carrots
2 eggs, beaten slightly
2 tablespoons vegetable oil (optional)
1/4 cup light soy sauce (or more to taste)
salt

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.
