How to Make Breakfast Fried Rice
Cook Meat: Place Canadian bacon in a single layer in a non-stick or cast iron pan over medium heat then cook undisturbed for 2 minutes. Stir, then cook undisturbed again for 1 minute. Remove to a very large bowl. Add pork sausage, crumbling it with a meat chopper to small pieces, until browned. Add to bowl with the Canadian bacon, leaving some of the grease in the pan.Sauté Veggies and Scramble Eggs: Add 1 Tablespoon oil or butter to the pan if there isn’t much grease. Add veggies, seasoning them with salt and pepper. Sauté over medium heat for a few minutes until tender then stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Remove to the same bowl. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in pan, then add eggs, stirring and cooking until scrambled. Remove to the same bowl.
Heat Rice: Add remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the pan and once melted, add rice, spreading into an even layer. Cook over medium-high heat and add green onion, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Allow the rice to cook undisturbed, stirring every minute or so, to allow it to crisp a little. Return meat and veggies from bowl back to the pan and toss to combine. Taste and season the breakfast egg fried rice with additional soy sauce, salt or pepper, as needed.
