Fried Rice with Bacon
Growing up, fried rice has been a staple in our household and my late mum can easily whip this up in minutes. It is cheap as we can literally use any leftover ingredients and rice to make this yummy one pan dish. Fortunately, we do not have to be deprived of fried rice while living low carb. Konjac or shirataki rice has been my savior and today, I will show you how to make a low carb version of fried rice. Of course, you can also use cauliflower rice if you prefer. This recipe is one of the 60 recipes from my cookbook. The Ultimate Low Carb Konjac Rice & Noodle Cookbook features 20 recipes each for rice & congee, noodles and pasta with comprehensive tips and tutorials.

1. Prepare the konjac rice by rinsing and draining then pan fry in a pan without oil until squeaky. This step is important to remove the excess water content then only the rice can absorb all the flavors. When the water is not visible anymore on the pan, remove from heat and set aside.
2. Add all the seasonings into a small bowl, mix well and set aside.
3. To make the scrambles eggs, heat up the frying pan with 2 tbsp of cooking oil over medium heat. Add the eggs (beaten with a fork) and scramble until cooked. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. To make the fried rice, heat up the same frying pan with 2 tbsp of cooking oil over medium heat. Add the bacon and sauté until golden brown then add the garlic, spring onions, red chilies and stir fry until fragrant. Then add the rice, seasonings and mix well. Adjust taste accordingly. Add the scrambled eggs (prepared earlier) and mix well. Finally, drizzle the sesame oil at the side of the pan then mix well. This will make the fried rice so much more flavorful.
5. Transfer onto a serving plate and garnish with chopped spring onions.
