Ingredients (4)
- 1 egg
- 2 slices of bacon, defrosted
- 2 cups of white rice, chilled
- 1 teaspoon of soy sauce
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.
Instructions
- 1Cut the slices of bacon into bite-size chunks.
- 2Whisk the egg in a bowl.
- 3Heat the wok or a heavy skillet until the water has evaporated off the surface. This takes one to two minutes.
- 4Fry the bacon in the wok until approximately two teaspoons of oil has appeared.
- 5Remove the bacon.
- 6Pour in the whisked egg and stir until scrambled.
- 7Add 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.
- 8Add the bacon back and mix for a minute or two.
- 9Turn off the heat and add the soy sauce. Mix thoroughly and serve.
