  • 1 onion
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • ½ tsp. pepper

  • Butter

Here's how...
  1. First prepare the ingredients.
  2. Cut 6-8 slices of bacon into small pieces and fry them with a bit of water in a skillet. Drain and set aside.
  3. In some of the bacon grease, fry up the eggs. Set them aside.
  4. Chop a chicken breast into very small pieces and brown it in some bacon grease along with a few teaspoons of soy sauce OR cook shrimp in 2 T. butter until just pink and cooked through (2-3 minutes). Set the meat aside.
  5. Steam edamame or measure peas and set aside.
  6. Chop an onion and three cloves of garlic.
  7. Heat a skillet good and hot. Add 1 T. olive oil and 3 T. butter.
  8. Fry the onion until translucent.
  9. Add in the garlic and ginger for about 2 minutes.
  10. Put the day-old rice into the pan and press it down into the skillet for a few minutes until you see that it is browning a bit on the bottom.. Add a few pats of butter on top and let it melt down into the rice. Keep turning the rice. Drench the rice with Coconut Aminos or soy sauce, tasting the flavor as you go.
  11. Toss in the cooked chicken or shrimp, edamame or peas, bacon, eggs, and pepper.
  12. Taste for final seasoning of pepper and Aminos.
