  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups of cooked rice (preferably day-old)
  • 4 strips of bacon, chopped
  • 1 cup of mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, and corn work great)

  • 3 tablespoons of soy sauce
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon of sesame oil (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
