About
When the week starts truly getting hectic, you need a meal that you can make without breaking a sweat (or the bank). Life-Saving Fried Rice only asks that you pour the ingredients in a baking dish, stir, and bake. The result is a fluffy and hearty rice dish with crispy bacon and the savory, tangy, and sweet flavors of fried rice — without the frying pan. Mixed with tender vegetables, Life-Saving Fried Rice is a complete meal in one dish, so you can be a hero at dinnertime while staying on top of your schedule!
Ingredients
- For the rice:
- 1 1/2 cups long-grain white rice
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 1 1/2 tablespoons light soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Chinese cooking wine
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups frozen diced vegetables
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
- 1 1/4 cups bacon, chopped
- For the topping:
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1/2 cup green onion, finely sliced
Directions
Step 1 -Preheat the oven to 390 degrees F.
Step 2 -Place the white rice, the chicken stock, the soy sauce, the Chinese cooking wine, the garlic, the frozen vegetables, and the white pepper in a 9x13-inch baking dish and stir, spreading the rice evenly throughout the pan.
Step 3 -Scatter the bacon on top of the rice mixture.
Step 4 -Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 40 minutes.
Step 5 -Remove the foil and bake until the bacon has darkened in color, the liquid is absorbed, and the rice is cooked but still appears wet.
Step 6 -Transfer the baking dish from the oven and let it rest loosely covered with foil for 10 minutes.
Step 7 -Add the sliced green onions and the sesame oil over top.
Step 8 -Fluff the rice and serve!
