Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Cook the Bacon: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced bacon and cook for about 5-7 minutes until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
  2. Scramble the Eggs: In the same skillet, reduce to medium-low heat and crack in 2-3 large eggs. Stir gently for about 2-3 minutes until fluffy. Transfer to the bacon plate.
  3. Add the Rice: Increase heat to medium and add 3 cups of leftover rice, breaking up clumps. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until heated through.
  4. Combine All Ingredients: Return bacon and eggs to the skillet. Add 2-3 finely sliced green onions, mixing thoroughly. Cook for another 2 minutes.
  5. Serve and Garnish: Taste and adjust seasoning as needed with soy sauce. Serve hot, garnished with additional green onions.
