Ingredients

3 cups left over white rice cooked
4 eggs beaten
1 tablespoon bacon grease
6 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
2 tablespoons sliced green onions
1 tablespoons soy sauce
½ teaspoon white pepper
¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

For the easiest, no mess results, cook your bacon in the oven. I recommend placing it on a wire rack over a foil lined baking sheet and cooking it for 20-30 minutes in a 400F oven. The time will depend on the thickness of the bacon.
Once your bacon is cooked, cut or crumble it into bite sized pieces for the rice.
Beat the eggs in a small bowl.
Heat a wok or a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon grease and heat for 10-20 seconds.
Add the eggs and cook until they are about halfway cooked (they should still be slightly runny).
Increase heat to medium high and add the rice, bacon and green onions. Toss to combine and cook for about 2 minutes.
Quickly stir in the pepper and soy sauce, remove from heat and serve immediately.

Notes

Using day old or fully cooled (refrigerated) rice provides the best results.
Add chili oil or sriracha for some extra spice;
Add in any vegetables you'd like such as diced peppers, peas, carrots, broccoli or onions. Add the vegetables in and stir fry them for 1-2 minutes before adding the rice.
You can also add shrimp, chicken, beef, pork, tofu or sausage for a heartier meal. Stir fry the meat until cooked through and caramelized on the edges BEFORE you add the rice.
Substitute brown ice, cauliflower rice, or jasmine rice for the white rice.
Serve it with a few slices of fresh avocado.
