1. 1. Start by rinsing the rice and cooking it with water according to the package instructions. Once the rice is cooked, set it aside to cool slightly before using it in the fried rice.

2. 2. In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped bacon and cook until it’s crispy and golden brown. This step adds a wonderful smoky and salty flavor to the dish.

3. 3. Next, add the white parts of the bok choy to the pan and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until they’re slightly tender. Be sure to keep the green leafy parts separate, as they’ll be added at the end to maintain their crunch.

4. 4. Once the bacon and bok choy whites are cooked, add the cooked rice to the pan and stir-fry everything together. Season with a pinch of salt and mix well to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.

5. 5. Finally, stir in the leafy green parts of the bok choy and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, just until they’re wilted and tender.
