Step 1

1. Start by preparing all ingredients. Dice the bacon, finely chop the carrot and green onions, and mince the garlic. Beat the eggs in a small bowl and set aside.

Step 5

5. Add the frozen peas and cook for another minute, stirring frequently.

Step 6

6. Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the cooked rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps with a wooden spoon or spatula.

Step 7

7. Drizzle the soy sauce and sesame oil over the rice, and stir everything together to evenly coat the rice and vegetables.

Step 8

8. Add the cooked bacon, scrambled eggs, and sliced green onions to the skillet. Mix everything thoroughly. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
