Ingredients

• 1 pack of Jolly Hog Smoked Bacon
• Brown rice
• 2 carrots
• Teaspoon of ginger
• Sesame seeds
• Mushrooms
• 4 Garlic Cloves
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 eggs
• Kimchi (optional)
• Spring onions (optional)

Method

• Add boiling water to a saucepan and chuck in your brown rice. We use 1 cup worth for 2 people (after years of making way too much rice).
• Leave to boil for 25 minutes or according to package instructions.
• Peel 2 carrots and chop them into small batons. Chop a teaspoon worth of ginger into thin slices.
• In a frying pan, heat sesame oil and chuck in your carrots and ginger, frying for 3-4 minutes. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and remove to keep warm.
• Chop a pack of mushrooms & 4 garlic cloves then chuck them together in the same frying pan. Add a tablespoon or two of soy sauce and fry for a minute until the mushrooms have softened.
• Remove the mushrooms, wipe out the frying pan & add 4 slices of our Jolly Hog Bacon (cook in batches if need be).
• Once the bacon’s crispy, set aside to keep it warm and crack 2 fried eggs in until they’re cooked (roughly 4 mins).
• Add the drained rice to the bottom of each bowl, then portion out the mushrooms & carrots. Top the rice with the egg, then lay the bacon over the top, and add kimchi for extra healthiness.
• Poke your yolk & mix it into the rice then enjoy.
