Fried Rice

I am cheating since I didn’t make this, but I tried it and got the recipe so I am blogging it. My ward had a recipe swap, and this was my favorite. It doesn’t taste as much like Chinese fried rice, but it had such an awesome flavor. The recipe came from Eleanor Brown, who says she ate for breakfast as a child and this is more a Filipino style. I am posting this with her permission, and it gets an 8.5.

Fried Rice
5 cups white rice, medium grain (she used Calrose)
1  lb. bacon, cut into 1/2 inch strips
10 eggs, scrambled
1 bunch green onions, plus stems
soy sauce
pepper
garlic salt
Cook rice in separate pot. Fry bacon until crisp and do not drain fat. Mix rice with bacon and all the bacon fat. Fry eggs in separate pan and break into clumps. Slice whole green onions, including stems and stir in the eggs and onions into the rice mixture. Add soy sauce until rice is covered and an even brown color. Season with garlic salt to taste.
I would maybe add carrots and peas, because I am funny like that, and maybe use less bacon. I assume you would still be able to get great flavor without that much bacon.
