Preparation Steps

  • In a large skillet or wok, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the bacon fat in the pan.
  • Add vegetable oil to the bacon fat and heat over medium-high heat. Pour in the beaten eggs and scramble until just set. Remove eggs and set aside with the bacon.
  • Add garlic to the pan and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the peas and carrots and cook for 2–3 minutes until heated through.
  • Add the chilled rice to the pan, breaking up any clumps. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until rice is heated through and slightly crispy.
  • Return the bacon and scrambled eggs to the pan. Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper. Stir everything together until well combined and heated through, about 2 minutes.
  • Stir in the green onions and cook for another 30 seconds. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot.

Notes

For best results, use day-old rice that has been chilled in the refrigerator. This prevents the rice from becoming mushy during stir-frying.
