- 2 green onions
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 7 cups cooked rice
- 1/4 cup white vinegar
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
Instructions:
-
Prepare Ingredients: Start by gathering all the necessary ingredients. Dice the green onions, mince the ginger and garlic, and have the cooked rice ready.
-
Cook Bacon: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the bacon until crispy. Once cooked, remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel to drain excess grease.

Prepare Eggs: While the bacon is cooking, in a small bowl, whip the eggs with water until well combined.
-
Scramble Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the remaining bacon grease. Scramble the eggs until fully cooked.
-
Add Aromatics: Push the cooked eggs to one side of the skillet. To the empty side, add the diced green onions, minced ginger, and minced garlic. Saute for about a minute until fragrant.
-
Combine Ingredients: Once the aromatics are fragrant, add the cooked rice to the skillet. Pour in the white vinegar and soy sauce.
-
Mix Well: Toss all the ingredients together until the rice is well coated with the seasonings and evenly mixed with the eggs, bacon, and aromatics.
-
Finish Cooking: Continue cooking the fried rice for an additional 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is heated through and well combined.
-
Garnish and Serve: Garnish the Chinese-Style Fried Rice with the green tops of the diced green onions for a pop of color and freshness. Serve hot and enjoy!
