  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 5 medium green onions, chopped (1/3 cup)
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 2 Hard-Cooked Eggs (page 220), sliced

    In 10-inch skillet, cook bacon over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp. Remove bacon with slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Drain all but 3 tablespoons bacon fat from skillet (if there isn’t 3 tablespoons bacon fat remaining, add enough vegetable oil to bacon fat to equal 3 tablespoons).

Expert Tips

  • tip 1
    To wash fresh spinach, remove and discard spinach stems. Place leaves in a sink or bowl filled with cool water. Swish with your hands in the water to rinse the dirt off the spinach. Lift the leaves up to drain off excess water. Repeat until no dirt remains, changing water if necessary.
