instructions
    1

    Begin by chopping the bacon into small pieces and cook it in a large skillet over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes until it turns crispy. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.

    2

    While the bacon is cooking, prepare your vegetables. Dice the bell pepper, cut the broccoli into small florets, and slice the carrot into thin rounds. Mince the garlic.

    3

    Once the bacon is crispy, remove it from the skillet and place it on a paper towel to drain excess grease, leaving about 1 tablespoon of bacon grease in the skillet.

    4

    In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

    5

    Next, add the chopped bell pepper, broccoli florets, and carrot slices to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes until they begin to soften but still have a bit of crunch.

    6

    While the vegetables are cooking, prepare the sauce. In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce and sesame oil together.

    7

    Once the veggies are done, return the crispy bacon back into the skillet and pour the sauce over the mixture. Stir well to combine all the ingredients and let it cook for another 2-3 minutes.

    8

    Finally, garnish your stir-fry with chopped green onion and season with black pepper to taste. Serve hot and enjoy!
