Instructions

6 slices thick-cut bacon, chopped

3 cups shaved or thinly sliced Brussels sprouts

3 cups cooked and cooled jasmine or long-grain rice

2 eggs, lightly beaten

1/2 onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

3 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil

1 teaspoon rice vinegar

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Green onions and sesame seeds for garnish

Notes

In a large skillet or wok, cook chopped bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove and set aside, leaving about 1–2 tablespoons of drippings in the pan.

Add onion and Brussels sprouts. Sauté 5–7 minutes until sprouts are golden and slightly crispy.

Push veggies to the side, add a little oil if needed, and scramble eggs in the pan. Stir to combine.

Add rice, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, vinegar, and pepper. Stir-fry everything together for 3–4 minutes until heated through.

Return bacon to the pan, toss, and cook 1 more minute.

Serve hot, topped with green onions and sesame seeds.
