My advice? Fry up this mixture of wicked goodness and serve it with a light salad on the side. Makes a perfect lunch for two.
This dish is delicious straight from the frying pan. In fact, In The Devil’s Kitchen, we often eat it with spoons direct from the cast iron pan.

Ingredients
- 5 ounces bacon chopped
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 small shiitake mushrooms sliced
- 1 ½ cups rice cooked
- 2 medium eggs beaten
Instructions
- If you can, get a piece of slab bacon. If none is available, look for the thickest cut sliced bacon. Chop them up.
- In a large wok, heat 1 ½ tablespoons of the butter over medium to medium-low heat. Add the bacon and fry for 5 to 6 minutes, frequently stirring, until the bacon pieces are lightly browned.
- Add the shiitake mushrooms and stir fry for 2 minutes until slightly browned.
- Add the rice and pepper, and combine well, getting the rice evenly coated with the butter or bacon fat in the frying pan. Heat the rice for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- While the rice is frying, heat the remaining ½ tablespoon of butter over medium-low heat in a small frying pan. Add the beaten eggs and cook, frequently stirring, until you have soft scrambled eggs. Turn the heat up to medium and fry (without further stirring or scrambling) for ½ minute until the outside is slightly golden.
- Use a wooden spatula to break the egg into small pieces.
- Mix the egg into the rice mixture.
