Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Caramelize bacon: Heat a deep frying pan over high heat, add a tablespoon of vegetable oil, add the bacon, and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with sugar, add 1/4 teaspoon of soy sauce, stir until foamy, then cook for another 30 seconds.

Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon to drain off any excess fat.
Fry the vegetables: Add garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until flavorful, about 30 seconds.

Add broccoli and cook until crisp, 2 to 3 minutes.

Add rice, remaining 2 teaspoons soy sauce, chicken broth, and caramelized bacon; stir. Use a spatula to push the rice aside.

In the same frying pan, crack the eggs into the empty space and lightly bake for about 1 minute. Mix the rice with the eggs and stir in the watercress.

Divide among servings, top with mustard or hot sauce.
