Now, some of you might feel weird to hear about a dish called Breakfast Fried Rice, right? But, ladies, let me clear all your doubts! Breakfast Bacon Fried Rice Recipe is indeed one of the most nutritious and filling breakfast to kickstart the day.

Loaded with bacon and eggs, Bacon Fried Rice Recipe turns out to be an interesting combination which you can savour any time of the day: be it  for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Many of us do not feel like having rice for the first meal of the day, however in many South Asian countries, rice is considered to be a staple diet and it consumed for every meal.

However, when it comes to you, if you have some left over rice, you could use it up for preparing Breakfast Fried Rice.

As Breakfast Fried Rice has bacon as well as eggs, I feel that even if one has not had a proper meal throughout the day then this recipe kind of compensates all the lost nutrients. Bacon particularly gives a strong flavour to this dish.

Also the onion greens, spring onions give a much-needed crunch and a refreshing taste. Moreover, I love the fact that how soy sauce and vinegar enhances its deliciousness! Quick to be packed in kiddo’s lunch box, Bacon Fried Rice Recipe just like Grilled Vegetable and Cheese Sandwich helps me to kind of combat all the tantrums of my sunny boy.

Even I sneak a portion of it for myself and savour it like a queen when he goes away to school. Why don’t you do the same? Prepare this finger-licking Fried Rice with Bacon for yourself someday and savour something new for a day, eh? Read its recipe:

Bacon Fried Rice Ingredients

Use thin bacon which gets nice and crispy to  add in the rice. You can even use ham if you have that.

You can use any variety of rice to make fried rice with bacon. White rice, brown rice everything words. Make sure the rice is a day old as fresh rice will become mushy while sautéing.

Sesame oil gives a very typical asian flavour to the dishes it is added to. Feel free to use vegetable oil instead if you do not like the flavour of sesame oil.

I sometimes add chopped garlic in this recipe too. It gives a delicious garlicky kick.

Sauces like soy sauce, rice vinegar etc are added to the rice too. If you want your rice hot, you can add schezwan sauce or any hot sauce of your choice.

Variations of Fried Rice with Bacon

I like to add some kimchi to my bacon fried rice to give it a spicy kick and make Kimchi Bacon Fried Rice.

You can also skip adding egg if you are not a big fan and make this rice without egg or instead of scrambling the eggs, you can top the rice with a sunny side up.

Try adding veggies like peas, mushroom, bell peppers, carrots and beans etc to make it more healthier.

You can top the fried rice with sliced avocado.

I tried to make Hawaiian Bacon Fried Rice once by adding chopped pineapple to the rice and it turned out awesome too.

If you are looking to make a healthier version of this, make cauliflower Bacon Fried Rice and use cauliflower rice instead of white rice.

Make it garlicky by adding lots of minced garlic in the oil along with onion.

You can also add other meat in this rice like shredded chicken, shrimps etc.
