Chef's notes
Be sure to top this dish off with a fried egg. It serves as a perfect accompaniment to the salty pancetta and looks more aesthetically pleasing.
You can add any lingering veggies from your fridge.
Sriracha is the most important ingredient when it comes to fried rice.
For convenience, pre-cut pancetta from Trader Joe's can be used.
