Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 6 slices thick-cut bacon, chopped
  • 1/2 large onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup frozen peas and carrots
  • 4 cups cooked and cooled long-grain rice preferably day-old
  • 3 large eggs, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 tsp Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 green onions, chopped

Equipment

  • Skillet

Method
 

  1. Add chopped bacon to a cold skillet and turn the heat to medium. Cook until crispy, then remove and set aside, reserving the bacon fat.
  2. In the same skillet, sauté the diced onion in the bacon fat for 3-5 minutes until translucent.
  3. Add minced garlic and frozen peas and carrots, cooking for 2-3 minutes until tender.
  4. Stir in the chilled rice, cooking for 2-4 minutes. Push the rice and veggies to one side of the pan.
  5. In the empty side of the pan, scramble the beaten eggs until fully cooked, then mix them with the rice and veggies.
  6. Turn the heat to high. Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and the cooked bacon. Stir thoroughly.
  7. Season with salt and pepper, garnish with chopped green onions, and serve hot.

Notes

For best results, use rice that has been cooked and cooled overnight. This helps prevent the dish from becoming mushy.
