the key is to start with cold rice...after that its hard to mess up!! (unless you over do it with the soy sauce) i learned the base of this great recipe from my boyfriend and tweeked it a bit.
Ingredients:
6 cups cooked rice, chilled
1/2 lb bacon
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 carrot, diced
1 green onion (white & green parts)
4 garlic cloves
2 boneless pork chops
1 (6 ounce) can peas, drained
3 eggs
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
Directions:
1. in a large skillet or wok fry bacon until crisp, crumble & reserve about half of the fat, set aside.
2. in a smaller skillet or on a bbq, cook chops until just done, cube into 1x1 inch pieces, set aside.
3. crack eggs into a bowl & beat lightly.
4. add seasame oil to bacon fat in wok or skillet & heat on med-high.
5. add the carrots & saute for 1 minute.
6. add the onion, garlic and cold rice, don't over stir or you'll break down the rice.
7. once rice starts to brown (10 minutes) add bacon & pork chops.
8. move rice to one side of the pan & pour beaten eggs onto the other side of the pan, let cook stirring occasionally for 1 minute, coarsely chop with spatula and mix gently into rice.
9. add peas and let rice sit for 5 minutes without stirring.
10. after 5 minutes use a spatula to flip rice & cook other side for 5 more minutes.
11. finish off with soy sauce & seasame seeds.
