Bacon Rice Pilaf

I love one dish meal, ^^ because it's so easy to make and less to wash too.



With only one small pan (I use small cast iron pan, it's suitable for cooking for 1 or 2 people, it's so cute that you can serve the food with it, plus it's a souvenir from my sister. Imagine that she had to curry this heavy pan for me, make me love her (and the pan) more). This dish is the best answer when you don't want to do anything much. The bacon adds deliciousness (Umami) to the rice instantly, and all you have to do is putting all the ingredients into the pan and let the heat do the job. No special skill or equipment.
You can double the recipe to serve more people, and don't worry the cooking time is almost the same, but you might have to stir the rice from time to time to prevent it from sticking to the base of the pan.
I use carrot and broccoli but you can use mushroom, or other kinds of vegetables that you happen to find in the fridge too.
