Ingredients
- 2 tbsp grapeseed oil
- 1 cup finely chopped bacon
- 2-3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 370 g (2 cups) cold cooked white rice
- salt, to taste
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup thinly sliced spring onions
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until golden and crisp. Remove from the pan, leaving as much fat in the pan as possible. Reduce the heat a little, add the garlic and stir until golden but not burnt. Add the cooked rice and a pinch of salt (be careful not to add too much as the bacon fat already has a lot of salt) and toss until the rice is warmed through and is glossy.
- Heat the remaining oil in a separate frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, break the eggs into the pan trying to keep them separate. The pan should be hot enough, so the edges of the eggs turn brown and crisp but do not burn. Use a spoon to ladle the oil over the eggs so the centre of the eggs cook, but the yolks stay runny.
- Stir most of the spring onions through the rice, reserving some to garnish. Divide the rice between bowls, top with a fried egg and the reserved spring onions and serve.
