This is good for a basic recipe, but I'd recommend adding all the leftover soft-cooked veggies in your fridge. It uses up leftovers and adds depth to the flavor of the fried rice. Oh, and add any leftover meat, shredded or diced, to make it a whole meal!

I added shredded cabbage and carrots to this and it was divine! A great way to use leftover veggies too.

Bacon gives only pork fat, not "all sorts of fat". Bacon, like pancetta, needs neutral oil to be cooked properly. Try. Experiment and you will see the difference.

Super yummy! I made this for a potluck, and everyone raved over it and asked for the recipe.

Added a 1/2 cup of chopped kimchi rinsed and chopped and 1/4 chopped sweet onion made it extra tasty.
Logan Colclazier
If you use twice the butter instead of ginger and garlic (was improvising) it adds flavor and depth.
Gail
why cook bacon in "neutral oil"? why cook it in oil at all when it'll give off all sorts of fat?
