Fried Rice with Bacon mmmmmmm

Fried Rice


1 lb of thick-sliced bacon, cut into chunks-reserve 2-3 pieces for just frying to eat.
1 1/4 white rice before water (cooked and laid aside)
3-4 carrots-peeled and quartered and sliced
3/4 c of frozen green peas
1/2 white onion finely diced
3-4 eggs beaten in a bowl
4 or so green onions sliced
Season with garlic powder
Touch of salt and pepper
 
Brown the bacon pieces in a lined skillet. Cook until golden brown/crunchy or desired crispiness. Remove bacon pieces from skillet and put on plate. Leave 1/3 of bacon grease in the pan, put remaining bacon grease in a coffee cup or glass jar. Sautee onions and carrots in skillet of grease. Cook 5-7 min? or until desired tenderness. Add frozen green peas to onions and carrots. Toss 2 min. Add majority of cooked rice to the skillet, add beaten eggs, gr onions, season with garlic powder, Black pepper, maybe a little salt and a little more bacon grease. Continuously and gently stir over med or med low heat until egg has cooked in the rice (4 min?) and taste to check saltiness level.
Hope it turns out well.
 
I use the sticky Asian rice that comes in 5 lb bag from Kroger (Calrose brand) in a non stick pot on the stove. I cook 1 1/2 cups of dry rice with water according to the package directions-20 min. The 1 1/2 c is a little too much to put in the fried rice/skillet, so I only put around 1 1/4 c of what I really cook or maybe only 1 cup. I eat the plain white rice later in the week or make extra white rice for a casserole/another meal. BASICALLY, my recipe above works in my 9-inch non-stick skillet and is PLENTY for dinner and leftovers. Happy eating!
