13602 Bacon Fried Rice 20 minutes 15 minutes 1 serving Fri Sep 26 16:09:51 -0700 2008 Mon Sep 29 17:03:03 -0700 2008 Easy Asian User http://www.chow.com/recipes/13602 Tue, 30 Sep 2008 00:03:03 GMT This recipe was developed during my college days when I was broke and starving. The morning after an all-nighter, I checked the food storing device and found only a carton of leftover white rice, one egg, and a pack of bacon. Normal everyday college fare.

The pantry was bare; an empty oil bottle and a half empty packet of soy sauce. I was craving for fried rice and most of the ingredients were right there. What was a starving college student to do?

I needed oil but I was out of cash at the time. Then an idea hit me. Bacon is comprised mostly of fat which is another form of oil.

The following is a version of fried rice that only a desperate person would try. Continue at your own peril.

  • Cut the slices of bacon into bite-size chunks.
  • Whisk the egg in a bowl.
  • Heat the wok or a heavy skillet until the water has evaporated off the surface. This takes one to two minutes.
  • Fry the bacon in the wok until approximately two teaspoons of oil has appeared.
  • Remove the bacon.
  • Pour in the whisked egg and stir until scrambled.
  • Add the rice. Crush the rice down against the wok until the clumps are separated. Stir and mix the egg into the rice. This takes 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Add the bacon back and mix for a minute or two.
  • Turn off the heat and add the soy sauce. Mix thoroughly and serve.
