Fried Rice With Bacon, Scallions and Water Chestnuts

"This is very tasty and pretty quick too. I have used brown rice in place of the white rice and that works just as well. Not always for your Asian dinners, this goes well with traditional pork and chicken dishes too. This is adapted from Gourmet magazine, Jan. 1999."

  1. A quick thank you for trying one of my recipes. To show my appreciation, I have made this lovely fried rice. Wish I could give it 10 stars. The bacon really makes this dish....great flavor. I used brown rice and it came out beautifully. The water chestnuts give this a nice crunch. Thanks so much for sharing it, Scoutie, can't wait to make it again.

<p>Hello all, being from California, I can honestly say I am a foodie. You can walk by construction workers here and hear them saying things like, So I used some fresh garlic and olive oil, then threw the rest into the pan to sautee. LOL I love all kinds of food, and trying to eat healthier as I get older, but still indulge in the occasional deep-fried food or sweet. <br />I LOVE this site! I have 3 or 4 other food sites such as Epicurious and Food Network, but I always come back here! The ease and all of the features just can't be beat. <br />Thanks Zaar and I look forward to participating more.</p>
