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.
