Given that fried rice is such a crowd pleasing dinner, it is only natural we should morph it into breakfast form. With just a few flavor tweaks it makes for a completely satisfying first meal of the day. You have got to do the mashed avo and fried eggs too which are a perfect balance to how flavorful this rice is. The pitfall of some breakfasts is that they are hard to make for a big squad all at once (hi, pancakes). Bring out this and feed a group a lion’s share of something cool and un-boring all at once.
Also even better, some people prefer day old rice for fried rices, so you can prep the rice (and bacon) the day before and pull it together like, super super fast the morning of.
