Recipe video above. This recipe was conceived as an emergency, ultra low-effort side dish. Just dump all the ingredients in a pan, and shove it in the oven. End result: seasoned rice that's amazingly similar to wok-tossed fried rice! Every grain of rice is perfectly cooked and fluffy, and the bacon even goes golden!Uses less liquid than the usual 1 : 1.5 rice to water ratio because we need to factor in the water that comes off the frozen vegetables (a surprising amount!).Bonus: this recipe starts with uncooked rice. No need to plan ahead with day-old cooked rice like you usually do!Add in options - like eggs, chicken, see Notes.PLEASE DO NOT stray from recommended rice per recipe. If you do, I cannot guarantee outcome!
