Bacon and Mushroom Curry Fried Rice: quick fried rice recipe using bacon, mushroom, caramelized onions and peas. It’s spicy and filled with flavors.
The weekend was packed with so many activities, that we didn’t get any time for the weekly grocery shopping but thankfully these Bacon and Mushroom Curry Fried Rice made our Monday Meal Super delicious!
You can call it Bacon and Mushroom Curry Fried Rice or an extremely flavorful fridge cleanup recipe as the ingredients used were the last of what we had in the fridge and also a perfect recipe to use leftover rice.So I thought, why not make the BEST of what we have and turn it into this quick and yummy recipe that we all literally wanted tons of!
The recipe for the Bacon and Mushroom Curry Fried Rice is so easy that you’d want to make it again and again!
Also, it has a good amount of veggies to protein ratio. We used a lot of turkey bacon (which we thankfully always have in the fridge) and then I added a lot of mushrooms, peas, and onions.
The fun part was adding the ‘Curry Powder’. I have cooked bacon with Italian seasoning but I sooooo wanted to try a recipe that combined Bacon + Curry Powder (as we love both).
And this I would say is a perfect fusion of both. The bacon adds such a meatiness to the recipe and the curry powder enhances the flavor with a ‘Whoooooaaaa’ factor (In a Good Way) 😉
The reason why this dish is so flavorful is that it’s cooked in leftover bacon grease, which adds an amazing flavor without it being heavy.
Infact this Bacon and Mushroom Curry Fried Rice is one recipe where I didn’t get any time to click more than 3-4 pictures as it was gone in minutes.
What you’re seeing here is my portion of the dish as Mr. had already devoured his share and kept asking me if I wanted to share mine with him …. lol !!
So whether it’s a fridge cleanup situation for you or just a quick meal or even ‘I want to try something New’, you gotta give this recipe a try soon and do let me know your thoughts about it?
It also makes for a great work lunch or picnic menu too. It can stay in the fridge for upto 2 days in an air-tight container.
