Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Dice the onion.
- Cut the bacon into small pieces.
- Dice the pumpkin into small cubes if not done already.
- If using fresh peas, blanch them in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then drain. If using frozen peas, ensure they are thawed.
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add a small splash of the olive oil to the pan.
- Crack the eggs into a bowl, beat them, and pour them into the skillet.
- Scramble the eggs quickly until fully cooked but still moist, then transfer to a plate and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil.
- Add the bacon pieces and cook until crispy.
- Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess fat.
- In the same skillet with the bacon fat (add more olive oil if necessary), add the diced onion.
- Cook until the onion becomes translucent.
- Add the diced pumpkin to the skillet and cook until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the peas and cook for another 2 minutes until heated through.
- Add the cooked rice to the skillet and mix well with the vegetables.
- Stir in the cooked bacon and scrambled eggs.
- Cook everything together for another 3-5 minutes, stirring continuously, until everything is heated through and well combined.
- Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped coriander leaves on top.
- Mix gently to incorporate the cilantro.
- Serve the fried rice hot and enjoy your speedy meal!
Tips:
- Pre-cook your rice and refrigerate it for a few hours or overnight for the best texture in your fried rice.
- Cut your ingredients uniformly to ensure even cooking.
- Feel free to customize the recipe by adding other vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, or corn.
- Use a large wok or skillet to allow for even distribution of heat and easier mixing.
- Prepare all your ingredients before you start cooking, as the process goes quickly once you begin.
