2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup frozen peas and carrots

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon oyster sauce
09 -
1 teaspoon sesame oil
10 -
Salt and pepper, to taste

2 green onions, chopped
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Place chopped bacon in a cold skillet over medium heat. Cook until crispy, then remove and set aside, reserving rendered fat.
02 -
In the same skillet, cook diced onion in the bacon fat for 3 to 5 minutes until translucent.
03 -
Add minced garlic and frozen peas and carrots to the skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until vegetables are tender.
04 -
Stir in the chilled rice and cook for 2 to 4 minutes, breaking up clumps and allowing rice to heat through.
05 -
Push rice mixture to one side of the pan. Pour beaten eggs into the empty space and scramble until fully cooked.
06 -
Raise heat to high. Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and cooked bacon. Stir well to combine evenly.
07 -
Season with salt and pepper as needed. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Use day-old rice for best texture and easier separation when stir-frying.
02 -
Cooking bacon from a cold skillet ensures even rendering and maximum crispiness.
03 -
High heat helps to crisp the rice and prevents steaming.
04 -
Adjust sauce quantities gradually to suit taste and prevent overpowering the dish.
