Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 cups uncooked long-grain rice
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 2 tablespoons mirin (sweet rice wine)
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 cup grated onion
  • 1-1/2 cups frozen peas and carrots
  • 1/2 cup frozen shelled edamame
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup center-cut bacon strips, chopped
  • 3/4 cup diced fully cooked ham
  • 2 tablespoons butter, optional
  • 5 large eggs, room temperature, beaten, optional
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°.
  2. In a lightly greased 13x9-in. baking dish, combine the first 11 ingredients; spread into an even layer. Scatter the top with the bacon and ham; cover tightly with aluminum foil.
  3. Bake 45 minutes. Uncover; bake an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the bacon and ham are lightly browned and the liquid has mostly absorbed. Remove from the oven; loosely cover with foil. Let sit 10 minutes.
  4. To make scrambled eggs, melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat; add eggs. Cook, undisturbed, for 30 seconds; gently stir and fold the eggs with a spatula until set.
  5. Top rice with scrambled eggs, if desired. Stir gently until eggs, bacon and ham are combined with the rice. Drizzle with sesame oil and garnish with green onion to serve.
