Feel free to add cubed chicken or steak to make this side a main dish. Pea pods also add some color and crunch. Carey Hunt, Portland, OR

Mom's Fried Rice Recipe

Prep/Total Time: 25 min.

Yield: 4 Servings

10 15 25

Ingredients

1 teaspoon canola oil
1 egg, beaten
8 bacon strips, chopped
1 cup chopped fresh mushrooms
8 green onions, thinly sliced
3 cups leftover cooked rice
1 cup bean sprouts
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce

Directions

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Pour egg into the pan. As egg sets, lift edges, letting uncooked portion flow underneath. When egg is completely cooked, remove to a plate. Set aside.
In the same skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Using a slotted spoon, remove to paper towels; drain, reserving 2 tablespoons drippings. Saute mushrooms and onions in the drippings. Stir in the rice, bean sprouts, peas, soy sauce and bacon. Chop egg into small pieces; stir into the pan and heat through. Yield: 4 servings.

Used 1 small can of mushrooms, omitted sprouts and it still tasted great!

This fried rice didn't taste that great. The flavor wasn't very appealing...I made this and it definitely didn't need bacon. I don't plan to make it again. :(

Everyone loved this. I have never used bean sprouts in fried rice and this definitely made a difference for the better. How could anything be bad with bacon?

I've been on a bacon kick and this was just what I needed! It's even better reheated. I didn't change anything this time but next time I'll add a little more bacon and peas!
