Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium; add bacon, and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp, 10-15 minutes. Remove bacon from skillet, drain and transfer to a large bowl. Discard drippings in skillet and wipe clean.
2. Add 1 tablespoon of canola oil to skillet and return heat to medium. Add onion and cook, stirring often, until tender and browned, about 10 minutes. Add peas, and cook, stirring occasionally, until warmed through, about 3 minutes. Transfer mixture to bacon in bowl.
3. Add remaining 2 tablespoons canola oil to skillet and heat over medium high. Add garlic, and cook, stirring constantly until fragrant, about 15 seconds. Add cooked rice and 3 sliced scallions, toss to coat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until rice is golden, about 4 minutes.
4. Create a well in the center of rice mixture. Add eggs to skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until eggs are set, about 1 minute. Add bacon mixture, and toss to combine. Stir in fish sauce, lime juice and soy sauce. Sprinkle with 1 sliced scallion.
