Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat about 1 1/2 tablespoons oil in a wok, or 2 tablespoons oil in a skillet, over high heat until smoking.

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

  3. Step 3: Add the vegetables; they can still be frozen. Cook for 2 minutes so they defrost and the water evaporates.

  4. Step 4: Add the rice and sauce ingredients. Cook for 1 1/2 minutes, until the liquid evaporates.

  5. Step 5: Push the rice to one side of the wok or skillet. Add 1/2 tablespoon oil to the cleared space. Shift the wok so the heat is centered over that space. Pour in the egg and scramble it until fully cooked; do not leave it soft-scrambled.

  6. Step 6: Add the green onion and stir the egg into the rice. Remove from the heat and serve immediately.

Notes

Ingredient and skillet options

  • Use any diced vegetables you like. For leafy greens, cut the stems into small pieces and the leaves into 2.5 cm (1 inch) pieces.

  • Long-grain white rice is suggested for Chinese fried rice, but other cooked, cold rice, including brown rice, can also be used.

  • Mirin, cooking sake or dry sherry can replace the Chinese cooking wine.

  • For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free soy sauce and oyster sauce.

  • For a skillet, the recipe notes suggest adding about 1/2 tablespoon extra oil at the start. A large skillet can be used to scale up the recipe by 50%; toss the rice with two wooden spoons.
