Starry Night Stir Fried Rice
Servings: 2
Ingredients:
1 Cup Black Rice
3 small Bell Peppers (orange, yellow, and red)
1 Cup Cherry Tomatoes
1/2 White Onion
1 Tbsp Butter
4-6 Strips Bacon (nitrate/nitrite-free)
Salt and Pepper, to taste
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Black Rice:
Cook the black rice following the instructions on the packaging. Set aside once cooked.
2. Cook the Bacon:
Roughly chop the nitrate/nitrite-free bacon.
In a large skillet or wok, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until it reaches your desired level of crispiness.
Remove the cooked bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess fat.
3. Prepare the Vegetables:
If there is an excessive amount of bacon fat in the skillet, pour out some, leaving a thin layer.
Slice the bell peppers (orange, yellow, and red) into thin strips.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half.
Slice the white onion into strips
4. Sauté the Vegetables:
In the same skillet with the bacon fat, sauté the sliced bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, and diced white onion over medium-high heat.
Stir-fry the vegetables until they become slightly tender, about 4-5 minutes. Adjust the cooking time to your preferred level of crispness.
5. Combine Rice and Bacon:
Add the cooked black rice and the previously cooked bacon to the sautéed vegetables in the skillet.
6. Add Butter, Season, and Serve:
For added flavor depth, you can add a small amount of butter to the stir fry. Stir to incorporate it into the dish.
Season the Starry Night Stir Fry with salt to taste. Remember that the bacon may already add some saltiness, so adjust accordingly.
Once everything is well combined and heated through, your Starry Night Stir Fry is ready to be enjoyed!
