Bacon And Brussels Sprouts Fried Rice Recipes

BACON AND BRUSSELS SPROUTS FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Slice your bacon pieces into ¼ inch strips crosswise. Trim and slice the brussels sprouts lengthwise. Peel and mince the ginger. Slice your green onions crosswise and discard the white parts.
• In a large nonstick skillet, add the vegetable oil over medium high heat. Add your bacon, stirring every 30 seconds until browned, about 4 minutes. Once browned, remove the bacon to a paper towel lined plate with a slotted spoon. Pour out all but 1 tbsp of bacon fat from the pan. Save the bacon fat in a jar for later.
• Keep the pan over medium high heat. Place your brussels sprouts, cut side down in the fat, and cook without disturbing them for 3-4 minutes until the bottoms are browned. Stir them up a bit and cook for another minute. Remove them to the plate with the bacon.
• In the same pan, add 2 tbsp of sesame oil over medium high heat. Add the ginger and cook for one minute. Add the rice and flatten into an even layer in the pan. Let this cook without disturbing for 30 seconds. Mix up the rice and flatten again, repeating for 3-4 minutes until rice has some crispy bits. Add the soy sauce and chili paste, and stir in the bacon and brussels sprouts. Squeeze in the lemon and stir the rice. Cook for one minute.
• Push all the rice to one side of the pan. In the cleared part of the pan, add a little oil. Crack your egg and let it set for just 30 seconds. Then scramble it with a spatula or wooden spoon. Once the egg is cooked through, stir it into the rice. Add the sesame seeds and taste the rice for salt. Add salt if needed. Top with sliced green onions to garnish.

BACON BRUSSELS SPROUTS FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet or wok over low heat and add the bacon. Cook until the fat is almost all rendered and the bacon is crispy, then stir in the brussels sprouts. Toss well and cook until the brussels soften, stirring occasionally, about 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in the garlic.
• Add in the rice, tossing to coat, then let it sit for 1 to 2 minutes to crisp up and get golden. Stir in the green onions, the soy sauce (start with only 1 tablespoon, since the bacon is salty!) and the sesame oil. Toss, breaking apart any pieces, and repeat for another 1 to 2 minutes. Repeat another 1 or 2 times until the rice is a bit crispy and golden.
• At this point, taste the rice and if it needs seasoned a bit more, stir in the soy sauce. You can keep your rice over low heat and take a few minutes here to prepare your eggs, whether you fry them or poach them.
• Spoon the rice into a bowl or a plate and top with the egg (or 2!), an extra drizzle of toasted sesame oil and some chili garlic paste. Eat up!
