For this recipe I used the “microwave” spelt (which is pre cooked – usually steamed, and then cooled and put in the pouch) but you can use microwave rice as well (yes, you can make fried rice out of microwave rice and yes, it turns out good, especially if it’s brown rice).
First I fried pancetta with some oil. In the oil and fat that rendered out I cooked the peas with some onions (I used frozen onions) and then seasoned with salt and Worcestershire sauce (a little splash). In the same pan I cooked the eggs that I mixed with some parmigiano. Then I put in the spelt and added everything back to the pan to develop some color. It turned out great, and with not so many things to clean. It was a solid 7/10.
Ps: for extra seasoning add black pepper, garlic or onion powder and optionally chives.

Ingredients:
50g smoked pancetta (bacon works great too ofc, also guanciale)
50g frozen peas
One tablespoon frozen onions
2 eggs
3 tablespoons grated parmigiano (or pecorino Romano)
Two tablespoons of olive oil
Black pepper and salt to taste (I didn’t add almost any salt, except when cooking peas and onions)
Ps: each step (peas + onions, eggs, pancetta and rice can be cooked in the same pan, but the pan must be emptied at each step)
Dry carbonara
This is such a creative idea!
This sounds pretty dope
Yum!
To add to what you said, microwave rice makes surprisingly good fried rice. I like to cook it halfway in the microwave and finish it in the wok with my sauce(s) so it absorbs even more flavor.
