          my daddy's killer fried rice

          Picture
          My dad never, ever measures. He says this is how his mom made fried rice, and that you can use char siu or spam, but bacon is his preferred salty meat. When I go home, he even makes a special batch without dried shrimp just for me because I'm allergic to shellfish. What a guy!

          Cooked rice, long grain if possible, Ideally, leftover refrigerator rice
          Bacon, finely chopped
          Onion, finely chopped
          Oyster sauce

          Shoyu
          Eggs, scrambled and cut into strips
          A few stalks of green onions, finely chopped
          Optional Mix-ins
          Fresh cilantro, finely chopped
          Dried shrimp
          Diced carrots
          Peas
          Green beans, finely chopped

          Cook the bacon first. Then add onions, garlic, and carrots, in that order. Then add rice and shoyu. Add whatever else you want (i.e. peas, green beans, green onions, etc.). Add oyster sauce to taste. Add sliced scrambled eggs and cilantro last.

          Let the rice at the bottom brown a little and get crunchy. Serve hot with practically anything, breakfast, lunch or dinner!
