Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 slices thick-cut bacon
  • 4 cups cooked white rice, chilled (preferably day-old)
  • 3 large eggs, beaten
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce (dark soy sauce recommended, low sodium optional)
  • 3 stalks green onions, sliced thin
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: red chili flakes for heat or turkey bacon for a leaner option

Instructions

  1. Preheat Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat (about 375°F). Lay bacon strips flat and cook for 5-7 minutes, flipping occasionally until crispy but not burnt. Remove bacon and drain on paper towels. Leave 1-2 tablespoons of bacon fat on the griddle.
  2. While bacon cooks, mix softened butter, minced garlic, and soy sauce in a bowl. Set aside for about 5 minutes to meld flavors.
  3. Push bacon fat to one side of the griddle. Pour beaten eggs on the clean side and gently scramble for 1-2 minutes until just cooked but still moist. Remove eggs and set aside.
  4. Add a splash of oil if needed, then add chilled rice to the griddle. Press and spread evenly, letting it cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes to develop crisp edges. Stir and repeat a couple of times for a total of 8-10 minutes to get crispy texture throughout.
  5. Chop cooked bacon into bite-sized pieces and scatter over rice along with scrambled eggs. Pour garlic soy butter evenly over mixture and stir to coat everything well.
  6. Toss in sliced green onions and drizzle sesame oil. Stir to combine. Season with freshly ground black pepper and chili flakes if using.
  7. Serve immediately hot off the griddle for best crispy texture and flavor.

Notes

Use day-old or chilled rice for best texture. Do not rush the crisping step to get crunchy bits. If garlic soy butter is too salty, balance with lime juice or a pinch of sugar. Leftovers reheat best in a skillet to maintain crispiness. Can substitute turkey bacon or smoked tempeh for variations.
