1/2 large onion, diced
03 -
2 cloves garlic, minced
04 -
1 cup frozen peas and carrots
05 -
4 cups cooked and cooled long-grain rice

3 large eggs, beaten

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon oyster sauce

1 teaspoon sesame oil
10 -
Salt and pepper, to taste
11 -
2 green onions, chopped
# Preparation Steps:
01 -
Place the chopped bacon in a cold skillet and set over medium heat. Cook until the bacon is evenly crisp and browned. Remove from the pan and set aside, reserving the rendered bacon fat in the skillet.
02 -
In the same skillet with bacon fat, add the diced onion. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes until translucent and softened.
03 -
Add minced garlic and frozen peas and carrots to the skillet. Sauté for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until the vegetables are heated through and tender.
04 -
Add the chilled, cooked long-grain rice to the skillet. Stir and cook for 2 to 4 minutes, allowing the rice to heat thoroughly. Push the rice and vegetables to one side of the pan.
05 -
Pour the beaten eggs into the now-empty side of the skillet. Scramble until fully set, then combine the eggs with the rice and vegetables.
06 -
Increase the heat to high. Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and the cooked bacon. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly distributed and heated through.
07 -
Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve immediately while hot.
