  • Stir in frozen peas and carrots mix, cooking for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  • Increase heat to medium-high and add cold cooked white rice, stir-frying for 2-3 minutes.
  • Pour soy sauce and sesame oil over rice mixture, stirring until evenly coated.
  • Return crispy bacon and scrambled eggs to the skillet, mixing everything thoroughly.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  • Sprinkle chopped green onions over finished Bacon Fried Rice and serve hot.
