We’ve probably all had fried rice before, but have you had breakfast fried rice? Who said you can’t have fried rice for breakfast? This fried rice starts out in the best of ways, with bacon! It’s also made all in one skillet. So first you cook the bacon, then you cook the eggs, and then it’s time for the rice. At the end you toss it all together and tada! Breakfast fried rice!

I did lighten this fried rice up by using a low sodium center cut bacon. I also used a brown rice instead of white or any other kind. And of course, low sodium soy sauce to boot. You could definitely use egg whites for at least some of the eggs, but I did not since - well eggs are expensive these days and I didn’t want to waste any yolks.

This does make a pretty good sized batch of breakfast rice, which is great because you can easily divvy it up and have it ready to go as a meal prep breakfast formerly the whole week. Seriously, I got 6 pretty decent sized portions out of this.

I made my rice a day ahead in this rice cooker and then stored it away in the fridge until morning.

Top it off with the green onions and maybe some sesame seeds or garlic chili crunch if you’re feeling extra spicy!
