Heat up the oil in a pan and cook the onion until it softens and looks clear. Toss in the bacon bits and diced bell pepper, letting them cook for a few extra minutes.

Stir the rice into the pan, making sure it gets coated well in the oil. Add water and let it cook gently for 45 minutes, topping up with more water if it looks dry.
