Stages of cooking
-
In a saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add rice and stir. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, season eggs with salt and pepper.
-
Heat 1 teaspoon oil in small frying pan. Pour in eggs. Coat the bottom of the pan evenly with eggs; cook for about 3 minutes. Flip eggs, cook 1 minute more, and transfer them to a cool surface. Let cool, then cut into thin slices. Set aside.
-
Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until evenly browned. Drain, crumble, and set aside.

Spoon remaining 2 teaspoons oil into the skillet with the bacon fat. Stir in cooked rice; break up any clumps and toss to coat with oil. Stir in bacon, soy sauce, peas, eggs, and green onions. Stir and cook until heated through, approximately 3 minutes.
