Edna's Fried Rice is a classic Chinese-American takeaway dish. The dish was created to use up leftover rice and vegetables and has since become a popular household staple. The key to making Edna's Fried Rice is using cold rice, which allows the grains to dry out slightly and more easily absorb the flavors of the other ingredients. Best served on its own or as a side dish to protein, it is a perfect comfort food for any occasion.

Instructions

1.Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add bacon and cook until crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
2.Add onion, green onion, celery, mushrooms, and green pepper to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
3.Add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
4.Add in the cold rice and stir until heated through.
5.Push the rice mixture to one side of the skillet and pour the egg onto the other side. Scramble the egg for 2-3 minutes, then mix it into the rice.
6.Add soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir it all together and cook until heated through for about 2-3 minutes.
