- 1/2 bag large mixed diced vegetables (peas, carrots, corn) from the freezer
- 6 rashers bacon, diced
- 3 eggs beaten eggs, mixed with a dash of milk
- 1/2 bunch spring onions, washed and diced
- 1/2 kg cooked and cooled rice
- 1 large onion, diced
- 2 teaspoons light soy sauce
- dark soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- white pepper
- cooking oil
Instructions
Step 1
Heat a large fry pan or wok and add cooking oil. Pour the beaten egg mixture into the pan/wok and cook for 1-2 minutes until partly set.
Step 2
Carefully flip the egg and cook the other side until cooked through. Remove the cooked egg from the pan/wok, slice it into small squares, and set aside.
Step 3
Add a small amount of cooking oil to the wok and fry the diced onion over low heat until soft. Add the diced bacon and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes until it starts to brown.
Step 4
Increase heat to high, then add the frozen mixed diced vegetables. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 3-4 minutes.
Step 5
Add the cooked and cooled rice to the wok, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Continue stirring for a few minutes until some of the rice grains begin to form a light brown crust.
Step 6
Season with light soy sauce and a dash of dark soy sauce, starting with a small amount and tasting before adding more. Sprinkle with white pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly to ensure the rice is evenly coated and colored.
Step 7
Add the reserved sliced omelette pieces and diced spring onion to the wok. Stir everything together and let it warm through for 1 minute.
Step 8
Turn off the heat, then add a few shakes of sesame oil. Stir again to combine well.
Step 9
Serve the fried rice immediately in deep, generous bowls.
