Japanese Fried Rice

A hearty Japanese-style fried rice made with cooked rice, bacon, chicken, eggs, and soy sauce. Easy to customize with vegetables and perfect for a quick family dinner.

Ingredients

• 6 cups rice cooked
• 1 medium onion diced
• 12 slices bacon diced
• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts Cooked and chopped. (I like to use a 22oz. grilled and ready bag of chicken)
• 1 green bell pepper diced
• 1/2 cup soy sauce or to taste
• 8 large eggs scrambled
• 2-3 cups mixed veggies, cooked and chopped (broccoli, peas, carrots, or preferred mix)

Instructions

Instructions

• Cook the rice according to package directions and set aside. Using slightly cooled or day-old rice works best.

  In a large skillet or pan, cook diced bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove excess grease if needed.

  Add chopped onion and bell pepper to the bacon and cook until softened.

  Stir in the cooked chicken and soy sauce. Heat through.

  In a separate pan, scramble the eggs with salt and pepper to taste.

  Add the cooked rice, scrambled eggs, and vegetables to a very large bowl or skillet.

  Toss everything together until well combined and evenly heated. Adjust soy sauce as needed.

  Serve warm.

Notes

• Day-old rice gives the best texture and prevents the dish from becoming mushy.

  This recipe is very flexible—use leftover meats or any vegetables you have on hand.

  Soy sauce amounts can vary by brand; start with less and add more to taste.

  This recipe scales easily for large families or gatherings.
