FRIED RICE WITH BACON (ORIENTAL STYLE)
One of my fondest memories growing up is the reaction my best friend had about my mom's fried rice. She was so addicted to it she would randomly request that mom make some. I have been craving it lately but knowing that it needs to be done with "yesterday's" leftover rice gets me every time. (If fresh rice is used it will stick together in a mushy mess instead of separating out into individual dry pieces.) Well, as luck would have it I spaced when making rice a few nights ago & instead of loading the rice cooker with 2 cups rice & 4 cups water I put in 4 cups of both! So I added another 4 cups of water & wow... that was a lot of leftover rice! So, last night I combined what I could remember of mom's fried rice with what I had on hand & my family loved it. We ate this for a main meal but usually it's served as a side. The first bite I took really did take me back 25 years! I hope you enjoy it too! :)

Steps:
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ham, barbecue spice and scallion whites. Saute for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Lower the heat to medium. Toss the rice with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a medium bowl. Add to the skillet and quickly stir so the ham and scallions get evenly distributed in the rice. Cook without stirring for 5 minutes so the bottom gets crispy.
- Combine the hoisin, soy, chile sauce and ginger in a small bowl and whisk together. Add the sauce to the skillet along with the peas and pineapple. Stir gently to combine, retaining the crispy bottom. Serve immediately topped with the fried egg, french-fried onions, sesame seeds and scallion greens.
HAWAIIAN FRIED RICE
Growing up in the South Pacific, rice was the mainstay of our diet. When my husband and I moved stateside, we created this Hawaiian fried rice recipe. We bring this dish to every potluck, and it's always the hit of the party. -Janice Edwards, Plainville, Illinois

HAWAIIAN-STYLE SAUSAGE AND RICE
I used to work where we had a lot of potluck lunches. I just brought the ingredients, already prepared, a rice cooker, and an electric frying pan. I would start the rice about 20 minutes before lunch and cook the rest in the frying pan while everyone else was uncovering and setting out their dishes. My copy of the recipe is getting so tattered I felt I better archive it. I would sorely miss it if lost.

Tips:
- Use cold rice. Leftover rice that has been refrigerated overnight will fry better and result in a less mushy texture.
- Cook the bacon until crispy. This will add flavor and texture to the fried rice.
- Use a wok or large skillet. This will allow you to spread out the rice and cook it evenly.
- Cook the rice in batches if necessary. If you are using a small skillet, you may need to cook the rice in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Season the rice to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste.
- Garnish the rice with green onions, sesame seeds, and/or a fried egg. This will add flavor and color to the dish.
Conclusion:
Hawaiian-style bacon fried rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover rice. With its combination of savory bacon, fluffy rice, and fresh vegetables, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
