Fried Rice with Canadian Bacon

This vibrant high-protein fried rice is a fantastic way to transform leftover grains into a nutritious and satisfying dinner. By using lean Canadian-style bacon and plenty of fresh mung bean sprouts, the dish offers a wonderful balance of savoury flavours and crunchy textures. The addition of ginger and toasted sesame oil provides an authentic depth of flavour that rivals any takeaway, while the inclusion of sweet baby peas adds a pop of colour to setiap bowl.

Perfect for a speedy midweek meal, this versatile recipe is ideal for those looking to increase their protein intake without spending hours in the kitchen. Using cold, pre-cooked rice is the secret to achieving that characteristic toasted finish without the grains becoming mushy. Serve it on its own as a complete meal or as a side dish alongside your favourite stir-fry vegetables.
