DIRECTIONS
- In a wok or large frying pan over medium high heat, cook the bacon until it's crispy.
- Add garlic and cook until light golden brown.
- Add onions and mix to combine then add veggies, salt, pepper and oregano.
- Cook veggies to your desired doneness (I like my veggies just cooked through and still firm).
- Pour eggs right over veggies and stir until cooked through.
- Add rice and soy sauce stirring often until heated throughout. Garnish with green onions. Serves 4.
Tips: I make this dish with whatever I have at hand so feel free to substitute the carrots, brussels sprouts or zucchini with any of your favorite veggies! You can also substitute the bacon with 1 cup of diced chicken plus 3 tablespoons of vegetable or olive oil.
