Directions:

Cover the eggs about 1" of water in a small saucepan, bring to a high simmer, cover and remove from heat. Let stand for 8 minutes, run under cold water, peel and quarter each egg.

Meanwhile, arrange the bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium heat until crisp. Remove the bacon from the skillet, let it cool and chop into bite size pieces.

Whisk together the chicken broth, soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, 3/4tsp salt and a couple pinches of pepper into a large microwave safe bowl. Add the rice, broccoli and scallion whites and toss to combine. Cover and microwave on high stirring occasionally until the broccoli is crisp and tender and the rice is warmed through. This will take about 6 minutes.

Divide the rice-broccoli mixture among four bowls. Top each with a quartered egg, bacon, carrot and scallion greens. Drizzle each with sesame oil.
