Bacon and Garlic Fried Rice
Fried rice, kicked up a notch! If you love your takeout fried rice, you absolutely have to try it with bacon and loads of garlic. Full of flavor, you'll be whipping up a batch anytime you have leftover rice!
Ingredients
- 4 cups cooked rice
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 slices bacon, chopped
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 3 tbsp hoisin sauce see note
- 1/2 tsp sesame oil
- scallion and sriracha sauce for garnish!
Instructions
- Stir together sauce ingredients: soy sauce, hoisin and sesame oil. Set aside.
- Heat large skillet to medium high heat; add chopped bacon.
- Cook bacon for 4-5 minutes until just crispy; remove from skillet. Leave enough bacon grease (about 1 tablespoon) in the skillet and discard the rest.
- Add onion and cook for one minute until translucent, then add in garlic.
- Cook garlic for 30 seconds, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
- Add rice and sauce to the pan, stirring continuously until sauce/garlic/onions are well mixed. Continue to stir until rice is hot and sauce has fully coated the rice.
- Stir in reserved bacon. Top with scallions and sriracha (if desired) and serve!
Notes
Hoisin sauce is widely available at most grocery stores (even Wal-Mart) in the Asian section. If you can't find it, you can substitute 3 tablespoons of brown sugar.
