Ingredients
  • 1 cup basmati rice
  • 6 slices bacon, chopped
  • 1 head broccoli florets cut into small pieces
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1½ teaspoons sesame oil
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 scallions, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
  1. Place rice in a medium sauce pan. Add 2¼ cups water, a pinch of salt, and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Bring to a simmer, cover, reduce head to low and cook for 14 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to rest covered for 4 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large nonstick skillet until crisp, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel to drain grease. Pour out all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon drippings.
  3. Heat the leftover grease. Add the broccoli and cook, stirring occasionally, about 2 minutes. Add ¾ cup water and simmer until the broccoli is crisp tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in the soy sauce and ½ teaspoon sesame oil. Mix the rice into the pan with the broccoli and combine.
  4. Divide the rice into serving bowl.
  5. In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Crack the eggs into the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and fry until sunny side up. Place 1 egg on each rice bowl. Top each rice bowl with scallions, bacon, and cilantro.
