Homemade Fried Rice, Juan Style

This is Juan's favorite dish. I generally make fried rice with a packet of Sun Bird seasoning mix, but decided to give Juan's parents recipe a try...or something fairly similar. All the ingredients are approximations. You can use more or less of anything, or even add different vegetables or meat.

*Total time: ~30 min

3 cups white rice (cooked)

4 strips of bacon

1/2 cup green onions (chopped); you can also use yellow onions

1/2 cup frozen peas

1/4 cup soy sauce

1/2 teas black pepper

3 teasp minced garlic

4 scrambled eggs

Cook 3 cups white rice & set aside

Scrabble eggs & set aside

Cut bacon into small squares and fry alone in large frying pan (medium heat)

Drain grease if needed

Add green onion

Cook 4 min (turn heat down to medium)

Add in peas, carrots, celery, etc. (I used frozen peas)

Cook until veggies are warm (~2 min)

Mix soy sauce, pepper, and minced garlic with rice in bowl

Dump rice mixture into frying pan

Add already scrambled eggs to frying pan

Fry on med high heat until all is mixed and hot.

Add more soy sauce, pepper, or garlic to taste.

*I served the rice with pork tenderloin that I baked in the oven while making the rice. The pork tenderloin bakes for about 30 min. Recipe to follow...
