Method

  1. Cook the rice in a large pan of boiling water for 10 mins until nearly tender. Drain, rinse with cold water and drain again. Set aside.
  2. Meanwhile, heat ½ tbsp oil in a frying pan over a high heat and fry the bacon for 5-7 mins until golden and crisp. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside. Add 1 tbsp oil and fry the peppers for 10 mins until lightly charred. Add the onions, carrots, garlic, ginger and chilli and fry over a medium- high heat for 5 mins more.
  3. Add the bacon and rice and fry for 5 mins, stirring frequently. Push the rice mixture to one side of the pan and crack the eggs into the gap. Beat the eggs with a wooden spoon, then stir through the rice. Cook for 2 mins, then add the soy sauce and remove from the heat. Divide between 4 shallow bowls to serve.
