Ingredients

Fresh green onions, garlic, potatoes, onion, and layered cake on wooden platter for healthy living and clean eating.
Soft cooked white rice in a rice cooker.
  • Cooked rice – Day-old rice works best because it’s firmer and less sticky, giving fried rice the right texture.
  • Potatoes – Use leftover roasted, boiled, or pan-fried potatoes for hearty bites. Fresh potatoes also work if cooked beforehand.
  • Vegan bacon – Smoky and savory plant-based bacon adds that classic breakfast flavor. Try Thrilling Foods Bakon™ for an authentic taste and texture.
  • Scallions – Both the white and green parts add a fresh, oniony brightness to balance the richness.
  • Garlic – Brings depth and aromatic flavor, tying everything together.
  • Onion – A base flavor that caramelizes slightly and adds sweetness.
  • Seasonings – Simple pantry staples like soy sauce or tamari, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, or chili flakes if you like a little kick.
  • Cooking oil – Any neutral oil works, but sesame oil adds a nutty finish.

Steps / Directions

  1. Prep everything. If your potatoes are leftover and already cooked, dice them; if fresh, cook them first (boil/cook & then pan-fry or roast so they start getting color). Chop onion, mince garlic, slice scallions, dice vegan bacon.
  2. Cook vegan bacon: Heat a skillet over medium heat, add a little oil if needed, then add the diced Bakon™. Fry until edges are getting crispy/smoky, about 2-3 minutes. Remove bacon and set aside.
  3. Sauté aromatics: In same skillet, add onion, cook until translucent (~2 min), then add garlic, and cook for another ~30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Potatoes: Add the potatoes. If fresh, you want to get them golden/crisped a bit — let them cook undisturbed so they brown. If using leftover, just heat them through and get a little crisp.
  5. Rice: Add rice, breaking up any clumps. Stir all together. Let rice sit for a bit, undisturbed, then stir — this helps it get a little crust / crispy bottom if you want.
  6. Return vegan bacon: Add the vegan bacon back in.
  7. Season: Splash in soy sauce or tamari; sprinkle in salt, pepper, optional smoked paprika or liquid smoke for more smoky flavor; optional chili flakes. Taste and adjust.
  8. Finish with scallions: Stir in scallion whites early (so they soften), reserve green tops for garnish.
  9. Serve: Plate immediately. Garnish with scallion greens. Optional: drizzle with sesame oil or hot sauce for extra kick.

  2. Breakfast Style – add soft tofu “scramble” or vegan egg substitute (just scramble and mix in at the end) for a breakfast vibe.
  3. Southwestern – add black beans, corn, diced bell peppers, and a bit of cumin & chili powder.
  4. Spicy Sriracha Sesame – finish with sesame oil + sriracha + maybe some chili garlic sauce.
  5. Herbed Lemon – finish with lemon zest & juice + fresh herbs (parsley, cilantro) to brighten up the richness.

Substitutions

What you can substituteInstead try…
Vegan baconany plant-based bacon, tempeh bacon, smoky seitan strips, or even smoked tofu crumble
Potatoessweet potatoes, butternut squash, roasted root veggies, or even leftover roasted potatoes
Ricebrown rice, basmati, jasmine, or even quinoa (but adjust liquid / time)
Soy sauce / tamaricoconut aminos, liquid aminos, or gluten-free soy sauce
Oiluse sesame oil for nutty flavor, or coconut oil, or any neutral oil you prefer

Top Tip

For best texture, use day-old (cold) rice if you can—it helps prevent sogginess and gives a better fried rice texture. Also, don’t stir constantly—let the rice and potatoes sit undisturbed for short periods to allow some browning/crust to form—it adds flavor.

Hint

If your vegan bacon tends to release moisture or soften, fry it first to render out flavor and moisture before adding rice. Also, if potatoes are starchy, rinse/cook and dry them so they don’t turn gummy in the pan.
