  • 2 medium carrots peeled and diced

  • 3 green onions thinly sliced

Cooking Instructions

  • Add Canadian bacon in a single layer to a large non-stick skillet or cast iron pan over medium heat. Cook undisturbed for 2 minutes. Stir and cook undisturbed for 1 minute. Remove to a large bowl.
  • (If there’s no grease left in the pan from the meat, add 1 Tablespoon oil or butter). Add veggies to the pan. Season with salt and pepper. Sauté over medium high heat for a few minutes until tender. Stir in garlic and cook 30 seconds. Remove to same bowl.
  • Reduce heat to medium low. Add 2 Tablespoons of butter to the pan. Once melted, add eggs and cook until scrambled, stirring occasionally. Remove eggs to bowl.
  • Add remaining 2 Tablespoons of butter to the pan and once melted, add rice. Spread rice into an even layer and cook over medium-high heat. Add green onion, soy sauce, sesame oil and toss to combine. Allow the rice to cook undisturbed, stirring every minute or so, to allow it to crisp a little.
  • Return everything in the bowl back to the pan and toss to combine. Taste and season with additional soy sauce, salt or pepper.

Notes

The meats can be cooked ahead, stored in an airtight container. All the vegetables can be chopped then kept in the fridge for up to a day in advance. Use gluten-free soy sauce for gluten-free adaptations.
