Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 8 slices bacon
- 3 tablespoons sesame oil
- 4 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 bunch green onions, sliced
- ½ cup frozen peas
- 4 cups cooked white rice
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce, plus more to taste

Instructions
- Cook the bacon until crispy, let cool, then tear into small pieces.
- In a large non stick skillet over medium heat, heat sesame oil. Add garlic, green onions and peas and cook, stirring, until green onions are softened and peas are warmed through, about 3 minutes. Add cooked rice and toss to combine, breaking up any clumps. Let the veggies and rice cook until slightly browned, about 6 minutes
