Gather your ingredients for the Breakfast Fried Rice. Chop the scallions and any additional vegetables or proteins you wish to include. Make sure your cooked rice is cold and separated.

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat and add a drizzle of neutral oil.

Once the oil shimmers, toss in the chopped bacon or your chosen alternative protein and cook until crispy and golden brown, about 5–7 minutes.

In the same pan, crack open your eggs and scramble them gently over medium heat until just set, about 2–3 minutes.

Add cold cooked rice to the skillet, break up any clumps, and stir-fry for about 5 minutes.

Pour in soy sauce over the rice, stir everything together well, and sauté for another 2 minutes.

Just before serving, stir in the freshly chopped scallions.
