Bacon-and-Egg Rice

This savoury bacon and egg rice is a satisfying high-protein meal that brings together smoky, salty flavours with the comfort of fluffy long-grain white rice. By using the rendered bacon fat to sauté the onions and eggs, every grain of rice is infused with a deep, savoury richness that elevates this simple dish into something truly special. The addition of toasted sesame oil and fresh spring onions provides a fragrant, aromatic finish that perfectly balances the crisp bacon.

Ideal for a quick midweek dinner or a nutritious post-workout recovery meal, this versatile recipe is a fantastic way to use up store-cupboard staples. It offers a balanced blend of protein and carbohydrates, making it a wholesome choice for the whole family. For the best results, ensure the rice is cooked and rested properly to maintain its texture when stir-fried in the pan.

How to make Bacon-and-Egg Rice

Bring rice and water to a boil in a 2 1/2-quart heavy saucepan, then reduce heat to low and cook, tightly covered, until water is absorbed and rice is tender, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, 5 minutes. Gently stir rice from top to bottom of saucepan with a heatproof rubber spatula.

Cook bacon in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until golden and crisp, about 6 minutes. Pour into a sieve set over a heatproof bowl and reserve bacon and fat separately.

Whisk together eggs, 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoons pepper in a medium bowl.

Return 3 tablespoons fat to skillet and sauté onion over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, until pale golden, about 5 minutes. Add eggs and cook, stirring, until eggs are just set, about 1 minute. Make a well in centre of egg mixture, then pour in vegetable oil and 2 tablespoons reserved bacon fat. Add rice, remaining teaspoon salt, and remaining 1/4 teaspoons pepper and cook, stirring, 2 minutes. Add bacon, spring onions, and sesame oil and cook mixture, stirring, 1 minute. Serve immediately.
