Main Ingredients- 150g fresh spinach
- 2 strips thick-cut bacon
- 1 ripe tomato
- 2 bowls cooked rice
Seasonings & Aromatics- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 0.3 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- Pinch of black pepper
- Pinch of toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 0.3 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- Pinch of black pepper
- Pinch of toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, cut the bacon into bite-sized pieces, about 1.5cm wide. Wash the tomato, remove the stem, and cut it into 8 wedges.
Step 2
Heat a pan over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add 1 tablespoon of minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, creating a garlic-infused oil. Be careful not to burn the garlic; sautéing it until golden brown is key.
Step 3
Once the garlic is fragrant and golden, add the chopped bacon and stir-fry together. As the bacon releases its fat and becomes crispy, add the prepared tomato and sauté briefly. Then, add the washed spinach to the pan and stir-fry quickly.
Step 4
After adding the spinach, season with 0.3 tsp of salt (or to your preference) while stir-frying. Once the spinach wilts slightly, add a pinch of fresh black pepper for extra flavor. When all ingredients are well combined, your delicious Bacon and Spinach stir-fry is ready.
Step 5
This Bacon and Spinach stir-fry is delicious on its own, but it makes a fantastic one-bowl meal when served over a bed of warm rice. It’s also wonderful served on toast for a delightful brunch!
Step 6
Your simple yet incredibly flavorful and nutritious Bacon, Tomato, and Spinach Rice Bowl is now complete! It’s as pleasing to the eyes as it is to the palate, promising a truly satisfying meal.
Step 7
After a long time, I made a simple yet incredibly delicious one-bowl meal, the Bacon and Spinach Rice Bowl. It made for a satisfying and enjoyable meal. I highly recommend you try making it too!
