Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 200°C / 390°F (180°C fan).
Step 2
Mix ingredients in baking dish: Place all Baked Fried Rice ingredients except bacon in a baking dish (~22 x 32cm / 9 x 13"). Stir, then spread rice evenly across pan.
Step 3
Top with bacon: Scatter bacon across surface.
Step 4
Bake covered 40 min: Cover with foil. Bake 40 minutes.
Step 5
Bake uncovered 15 min: Remove foil. Bake uncovered 15 minutes - this will colour the bacon. Liquid should be absorbed, rice should be cooked (but will seem wet, will absorb and soften while resting).
Step 6
Rest 10 min: Cover loosely with foil, stand for 10 minutes.
Step 7
Fluff: Add green onion and sesame oil. Fluff rice with fork, marvel at how perfectly cooked the rice grains are. Serve!
