Leftover Fried Rice With Bacon and Ginger image

We always have leftover fried rice when we order take-out Chinese. I prepared this with ginger the next day to use the rice and we loved it. Serve with soy sauce.

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 slices bacon
2 cups leftover fried rice
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon freshly grated ginger
1 green onion, chopped
1 tablespoon butter
2 eggs, lightly beaten
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Heat vegetable oil in a cast iron or heavy skillet over medium heat. Add bacon; fry, turning frequently until crispy, about 5 minutes. Remove bacon from the skillet; transfer to paper towels to drain. Let cool for 10 minutes. Crumble into bite-sized pieces.
  • While bacon is cooling, cook and stir rice in the same skillet with bacon drippings, ground ginger, and fresh ginger over medium heat until rice is hot, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in green onion.
  • Heat a small skillet over medium heat until warm; add butter and melt, being careful not to brown the butter. Add eggs, salt, and pepper; scramble until eggs are set but still moist, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir scrambled eggs into hot fried rice until eggs are broken into small pieces. Add crumbled bacon and mix well.

I used brown rice instead of white rice and it turned out great.

I'm not a big fan of ginger, so I omitted it from this recipe. It was still very good.

The rice was a little dry. I think I'll add some more oil next time.

This fried rice was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less soy sauce next time.
