Instructions

  • Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add bacon. Cook until most of the fat is rendered out. Remove bacon and set aside.
  • Add onions to bacon grease in the wok. Saute until the onions are soft. Add ginger and garlic, taking care not to burn garlic.
  • Add rice to the wok, and stir well. Next, add the peas & carrots and the bacon back to the wok. Stir to combine.

  • Season rice with rice wine vinegar and soy sauce. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions, if desired.
