Fried Rice

Serves 4

Ingredients:

1 1/3 c. rice

1 2/3 c. water

3 eggs, lightly beaten

1/4 t. salt

1/8 t. pepper

3 t. vegetable oil, divided

1/4 lb. bacon, cut into strips

1/8 c. soy sauce

1 (10 oz.) pkg. frozen green peas, thawed

2 green onions, chopped

Directions:

1. In a saucepan bring water to a boil. Add rice and salt. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 min. Meanwhile season the eggs with salt and pepper.

2. Heat 1 T. oil in small frying pan, pour in eggs. Coat the bottom of the pan with the eggs, in order to cook them evenly; cook for 3 minutes. Flip the eggs, cook one minute more and remove them to a cool surface. Let them cool, then cut them into thin slices. Set aside.

3. Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble, and set aside.

4. Spoon remaining 2 t. oil into the skillet with the bacon fat. Stir in rice; break up any clumps and toss to coat with oil. Stir in bacon, soy sauce, peas, eggs, and green onions. Stir to cook until heated through, approximately 3 min.
