Cooking Steps

Cook the bacon in a large, cold skillet over medium heat for 8-10 minutes until crispy. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
Scramble the eggs in the same skillet, whisked with salt and pepper, until just set, then remove and set aside.
Sauté chopped white onion in the skillet with melted butter for 5-6 minutes, then add minced garlic.
Add cold cooked rice to the skillet; fry undisturbed for 4-5 minutes to achieve crispy texture.
Pour in soy sauce, then mix in peas, carrots, and corn for 3-4 minutes until heated.
Fold in the crispy bacon, scrambled eggs, and green onions before serving hot.
