Heat a nonstick skillet to medium-high on the stove top. Add bacon and cook until the bacon is crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Once cooked, remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside on a paper towel. Drain bacon grease from the pan, leaving about a tablespoon of the fat in the pan.
Add onion and carrot and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables become tender and slightly browned on the edges.Move the onions and carrots over to one side of the pan and add beaten egg to the other side of the pan. Scramble eggs with a fork and cook for 2-3 minutes. Fold cooked eggs into the onions and carrots.
Add peas, bacon and rice to the pan and fold everything together to combine. Add sesame oil and soy/tamari and let the rice heat through. Serve immediately.
