Again, this plate of carbohydrates is not for me :( It's for you know who. I cooked this fried rice on a Saturday morning for my partner to take to work. He works Saturdays and sometimes he comes home at 5:00pm for his lunch. That's right 5:00pm.
And then we have dinner at 7:00pm. "Don't worry, I can eat dinner. My food digests very fast". That's my partner for you. I don't know where the food goes to but never mind.
Fried rice is really versatile and you can put whatever you like into it and it comes out tasting good every time. That morning, I decided on smoked back bacon. Now how could that not taste nice, eh? I also added onions, garlic, carrots, peas and spring onions. For seasoning it was light soya sauce and HP BBQ sauce.
And oh, I topped it up with a fried egg too. So, Mr Arthur Wee, how's my fried egg? If you think that my egg yolk was overcooked, it was because that's how my partner likes it. No runny yolk for him because of what? Bacteria. hee..hee...

This is my pathetic attempt at frying eggs using the conventional wok because my non-stick pan is no longer in service. I obviously need more practice.
So there you have it, an easy fried rice that is filling and tasty too. I don't have exact measurements for this recipe . Just go with the flow and make your own estimates and adjustments. I guarantee whatever you do, it will taste good.

yum yum....this weekend menu...muhahah...have some Ham in the freezer
ReplyDeleteCook more, satu pinggan tak cukup.
DeleteYummy ! How about some small salted fish cubes too ?
ReplyDeleteSalted fish???? Aiyorrrrr!!!!!! Sacrilege!!! The clash of the titans!!! Not compatible at all. How to savour the exquisite taste of either the bacon or the salted fish! It has to be one or the other - both nice but not together!
DeleteHah..hah...Chris...see STP freaked out on your suggestion.
DeleteSTP, totally agree that it has to be one or the other. Maybe Chris wanted salted fish fried rice. That one is delicious too.
Oooooo...bacon! Double thumbs up!!!
ReplyDeleteJust wondering about the peas there - we have those frozen veg in packets, with carrots and corn kernels. No problem with the two but the peas are always as hard as stone. Even boiling them first did not help. I've given up on using those.
DeleteBacon is always good anytime!
DeleteThe peas I used are the frozen ones from a New Zealand brand. They are good, not hard at all. What I do is defrost them overnight in the fridge or just before cooking. In fact they are very nice eaten just like that. Very sweet.
I love fried rice, in fact, any fried rice.. I didn't have "kak yeh fan" the last time I cooked it, so I cooked a new pot of rice, scooped out, cooled it, and put in the fridge for 2-3 hours.. Same effect, very good.. Biji-biji one the rice..
ReplyDeleteI love bacon fried rice.. Mum's way: Bacon, green peas and egg only.. Her way is crack all the eggs and mix into rice and stor together, so the rice is a bit mushy, but we never complained.. My way is to fry the eggs first, put aside, then only campak the rice in..
I agree on the bacteria thingy, but sometimes, ala, "sik jor jing shuin" (eat first, think later).. Every weekend, I make half-boiled eggs for myself and G.. G can eat 2 half-boiled eggs! I worry about the bacteria too though..
*stir. Typo.
DeleteHi Louiz! I don't mix the egg with the rice because I don't like it soggy. I did that once and learnt a lesson but some people like it that way. I prefer you way of frying the eggs first. So far I have not had any problems with half boiled eggs even when I was a kid. My brothers also had half boiled eggs when they were very young. Hmmm...G has good appetite for eggs. They are good for him.
DeleteOMG!! it's FRIED RICE!!! I love fried rice, basically any style of fried rice.. can be rather dangerous because it seems I "do not know" when to stop and just stuff myself.. muahaha!!
ReplyDeleteMe too, SK. Fried rice is always a favourite. I like the restaurant style Chinese fried rice and lagi best if eaten with sweet and sour pork. I can have two helpings!
Deleteand your fried rice, it has got my like - bacon somemore.. and what u like about this fries rice is also you use chopped carrots and peas, instead of those three-color frozen mixed veggie (those so ubiquitous corn, peas and carrot if you know what I mean) which turn me off so much, haha!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I certainly agree about the corn, peas and carrot mix. I also don't fancy it at all. Bacon with anything is nice hah..hah...
Deleteand Iike that egg on top, though I would prefer burnt on the edge and a little runny yolk.. and you know what?? I will also take a piece or two of the bacon, cut into pieces then fry till crispy brown and sprinkle on top if the rice.. aiyoh, that would be so nice hor?? :D
ReplyDeleteYes, yes! Definitely nice to have crispy bacon sprinkled over the rice. It was too early in the morning and I didn't think of that. I like runny yolk too and so far I have not had tummy ache from eating soft boiled eggs.
Deletecan i share the fried rice? hahaha! i don't mind this lovely plate of rice
ReplyDeleteHi Victoria! Of course I am happy to let you have some of the fried rice hee..hee...
DeleteAmazing ya.....that he can have his lunch at 5pm and can even go on for dinner at 7pm!! He has good digestion..... or because you are such a good cook that he doesnt want to miss out any of your cooked food.
ReplyDeleteHi Mel! His digestive system is super efficient hah..hah...For me I cannot eat dinner if I have a late lunch.
DeleteWow, lunch at 5pm and dinner at 7pm, won't it be to heavy for him...
ReplyDeleteHe said OK, wor...
DeleteFried rice. Yummmz
ReplyDeleteAgreed!
DeleteI think your partner is afraid of salmonella poisoning due to raw eggs. I don't know why but in the news I often read of Westerners getting salmonella poisoning after consuming not fully cooked egg. In UK, if you see a Lion Quality Mark (red mark) on a raw egg like this:

it means the egg is safe from salmonella but here there is no such practice.
Hi Mun! I think we Asians are used to eating soft boiled eggs from young and we have developed a strong immune system. If young children are too protected and live in very sterile environment, they are more vulnerable because their immune system did not get the chance develop defence against germs, These days there are pasteurized eggs available at the supermarket. More expensive of course.
DeleteI like to eat moist fried rice. I am sure I will like to your fried rice and fully cooked egg. No fatty meat inside since the back bacon's fatty bits would have already sizzled to become fried bits, I am fine else I would need to selectively spit out those gently. For people wanting to put on weight, eating fried rice is the faster than eating plain rice because of the oil used to fry the rice.
ReplyDeleteI have always loved bacon, who doesn't right? It makes the fried rice so tasty. Another thing I love is fried eggs, bacon and baked beans. That is so heavenly!
DeleteHi PH sharing some tips on frying egg - sprinkle some water on the frying pan and egg during frying time and cover with a lid to prevent the edge got burnt woh! Gambateh sis!
ReplyDeleteHi Christine! Oh, like that kah? OK, next time I try that :)
DeleteHi Phong Hong, don't you think your tasty fried rice perfect with a heap of sambal chilli if you like spicy? Yummy!
ReplyDeleteHi Karen! Yup, I would have made the sambal if the fried rice was for me :)
DeleteSimple and sound nice fried rice!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sonia! But your kampung version is more happening :D
DeleteI love friend rice! Overcooked egg? I don't mind at all!!
ReplyDeleteHi Ann! I don't mind it either as I love eggs!
Deletelooks very good, esp. with the egg at the top!
ReplyDeleteHi Ola! Somehow a fried egg makes the fried rice look more tasty.
DeleteHi Phong Hong, i hungry and looking for supper now...one nasi goreng please....
ReplyDeleteComing right up, Esther!
DeleteLove the shot, it's so well taken! I like how you played with colours. TGIF, Phong Hong!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Shirley! Tomorrow is Monday again, arrgh!!!
DeleteNicely done fried rice!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Fabiany11!
DeleteYou are so sweet Phong Hong!!! If my husband comes back at 5pm for lunch, he would have to make a sandwich for himself!! :)
ReplyDeletehahaha! But Diana, I am sure there are some chocolate cakes lying around in your house. No need sandwich!
DeleteThis is definitely comfort food for me. Love fried rice topped with fried egg!
ReplyDeleteMe too, Mich. I find fried rice irresistible!
DeleteI love fried rice anytime!! It can never go wrong with ingredients.. whatever we like, we can dump them in.. hahahaa... Yes, topping with an egg really makes the fried rice look like fried rice! hahaha.. what am I saying... Love it!
ReplyDeletehahaha!! I know what you mean, Claire!
DeleteWow! Looks like your partner has an elastic stomach. He can tahan puasa for whole day until 5pm only take lunch, then go for dinner again at 7pm. If not elastic I don't think it can be done, he...he....
ReplyDeleteFried rice with bacon , mmh... Must be really nice!
hah..hah..Aunty Young, I think so lah! Mine is also elastic but once cannot shrink one :(
DeleteHi Phong Hong
ReplyDeleteI could eat a big plate of this! I love fried rice, and with bacon and fried egg, even better!
Hi Joyce! Anything with bacon, I will have second helpings!
DeleteI love fried rice very much and just had salted fish fried rice for lunch today. What a coincidence!
ReplyDeleteI also added a fried egg on top but your fried rice looked better in 100%....
TM, I love salted fish fried rice too! The smell really can drive one crazy and I can down two plates of it. Very dangerous.
DeleteBacon? Where? The only hint of bacon that I can see is the ones in the packaging. If I cook, I will make sure the bacon is the main visible ingredient XD
ReplyDeleteI know, I know, it is not visible at all eh? I may have been a bit stingy there and I know how you eat your bacon hah..hah...
