Fast-Fix Fried Rice
Quick fried rice turns simple ingredients into a satisfying meal in minutes. Bacon and mushrooms bring deep savory notes, while sweet peas and fresh ginger add brightness to the bowl. Using leftover or pouch basmati rice keeps the process fast and straightforward. It is a perfect weeknight dinner when you need something comforting but short on time. A quick splash of sweetened dark soy sauce ties everything together with a rich, glossy finish.
Ingredients
- 2 tsp oil
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 rashers bacon, chopped
