Stir to combine; cook 1 minute. Pour soy sauce mixture over rice mixture; stir to combine. Divide rice between plates. Top with bacon.

  4. Return skillet to medium-high. Add an additional 1 Tbsp. bacon drippings. Fry the eggs to desired doneness. Top each serving with an egg and, if you like, sprinkle with crushed red pepper. Serves 2.
