6 servings
Servings4
2 tbsp oil
1/2 onion (finely chopped)
2 garlic cloves (minced)
120 g/4 oz bacon (chopped, optional, or use ham)
1 - 1 1/2 cups diced vegetables (frozen or fresh)
2 cups (packed) cooked day old white rice (refrigerated or frozen defrosted)
3 eggs (whisked)
3/4 cup green onions (sliced)
1 tbsp Chinese cooking wine (sub Mirin, cooking sake or dry sherry)
1 tbsp Oyster Sauce
1 tbsp light soy sauce (or all purpose)
1 tsp sesame oil (optional)
1/4 tsp white pepper
1

Heat about 1 1/2 tbsp oil in a wok or 2 tbsp oil in a skillet over high heat until smoking.

2

Add onion, garlic and bacon. Cook until bacon is light golden - about 1 1/2 minutes.

3

Add vegetables (still frozen is fine). Cook for 2 minutes so they defrost and water evaporates.

4

Add rice and sauce ingredients. Cook for 1 1/2 minutes until liquid evaporates.

5

Shove rice to the side of the wok/skillet. Add 1/2 tbsp oil into the cleared space, shift wok so the heat is centred over the cleared space. Pour in egg then scramble - cook it through properly, don't 'soft scramble'.

6

Add green onion then stir the egg into the rice. Remove from heat and serve immediately!
