This takeout-style fried rice is dotted with tender ginger-soy-glazed chicken, smoky bacon, sweet carrots, and vibrant peas. It’s pressed into an even layer in the pan for satisfyingly crispy bites throughout. A spicy mayo is drizzled on top, and it’s finished with golden crispy fried onions for extra crunch.

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps

Cook Rice
1
  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a small pot over high heat; add rice and cook, stirring frequently, until translucent, 1-2 minutes.

  • Stir in 1¼ cups water (2¼ cups for 4 servings) and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until tender, 15-20 minutes.

  • Keep covered off heat until ready to use in Step 5.

Cook Bacon
2
  • While rice cooks, add bacon* to a large dry, preferably nonstick, pan in a single layer. Cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crispy, 6-10 minutes.

  • Turn off heat; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Carefully discard all but a thin layer of bacon fat from pan.

  • Once bacon is cool enough to handle, roughly chop.

Prep & Make Sauce
3
  • Wash and dry produce.

  • Trim, peel, and dice carrots into ¼-inch pieces. Rinse peas under cold water; pat dry with paper towels.

  • In a small bowl, combine sweet soy glaze, garlic-ginger scallion paste, honey, and half the vinegar (all for 4 servings).

Cook Chicken
4
  • Open package of chicken* and drain off any excess liquid.

  • Heat a large drizzle of oil in pan with reserved bacon fat over medium-high heat. Add chicken and carrots; cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and carrots are tender, 4-6 minutes. TIP: If chicken is browning too quickly, reduce heat and cover with lid.

  • Stir in sauce mixture until chicken is coated, about 30 seconds. 
Make Fried Rice
5
  • Add rice, bacon, peas, and garlic powder to pan with chicken mixture. Stir together until everything is evenly combined. TIP: If rice is sticky, add a drizzle of oil.
  • Press into an even layer; cook, undisturbed, until rice is slightly crispy on the bottom, 1-2 minutes.

  • Turn off heat. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.

Serve
6
  • Divide fried rice between bowls. Drizzle with spicy mayo and sprinkle with crispy fried onions. Serve.
