Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the thawed corn, peas, and 1 tablespoon of water. Microwave on high until tender, approximately 2 minutes.

02

Step

In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of water and 1 egg until light and frothy.

03

Step

Melt the butter in a wok or large skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook until set, about 1 minute per side, creating a thin crepe-like omelet. Transfer the cooked egg to a plate and slice into thin strips. Repeat with the remaining 2 tablespoons of water and the remaining 2 eggs.

04

Step

Place the bacon in the wok and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crispy and evenly browned, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the bacon from the wok and drain on paper towels. Once cooled slightly, slice into bite-sized pieces.

05

Step

Reheat the wok over high heat for about 1 minute. Swirl in the peanut oil and heat until it shimmers, indicating it's hot enough. Break up any large clumps of the chilled rice with wet fingers to separate the grains, ensuring even cooking.

06

Step

Add the rice to the wok in batches, about 2 handfuls at a time. Stir-fry constantly until the rice starts to crisp up and become slightly golden, about 1-2 minutes per batch. Transfer each batch to a bowl and set aside.

07

Step

Reduce the heat to medium. Return all the cooked rice to the wok. Stir in the Sriracha sauce, soy sauce, and fish sauce, ensuring the rice is well-coated and heated through, about 2 minutes.

08

Step

Add the cooked corn, peas, sliced egg, and crispy bacon to the wok. Toss everything together until well combined and heated through, about 3 minutes. Serve immediately.

For best results, use cold, day-old rice. This helps prevent the fried rice from becoming mushy.
Adjust the amount of Sriracha to your preferred level of spiciness. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra heat.
Feel free to customize this recipe with your favorite vegetables, such as carrots, bell peppers, or onions.
If you don't have fish sauce, you can substitute it with an equal amount of soy sauce, but the fish sauce adds a unique umami flavor that enhances the dish.
Ensure your wok or skillet is very hot before adding the rice to achieve that desirable crispy texture.
Garnish with chopped green onions or cilantro for added freshness.
