Don’t feel well today, Luckily, I have some leftovers cooked rice, eggs, bacon and freezer corns and peas. Just a quick simple meal.

Google: “Fried rice is a dish of cooked rice that has been stir-fried in a wok or a frying pan and is usually mixed with other ingredients such as eggs, vegetables, seafood, or meat. It is often eaten by itself or as an accompaniment to another dish”.

“Chinese fried rice- light soy sauce and dark soy sauce are used. Some chefs prefer just a pinch of salt to keep the bright colour of the rice. … Chinese-American fried rice– tomato ketchup and Worcestershire sauce are used to render a whole new flavour. Thai fried rice- uses fish sauce, soy sauce, and sugar. Use cold, leftover cooked rice, medium to long grain rice, not short grain sweet/sushi rice or glutinous rice. A blazing hot wok (a wok is ideal, but a large pan) will do”.

I am happy it turns out well, tasty, colourful, flavourful and delicious. Let’s cook!!!

Ingredients

3 c cooked rice, 2-3 days old
140 g thin slices bacon, cut to bite sized
4 Tsp minced garlic, divided
3 large eggs, beaten
120 g corns and peas, frozen
oil
salt

Sauce for rice

1 Tsp soy sauce
1 1/2 Tbs Shoa Xing (Chinese cooking wine)
1 Tbs fish sauce
1 Tsp sesame oil
pepper

Method

Heat about 2 Tbs oil in a wok over high heat until smoking. Cook for 1-2 minutes so they defrost and water evaporates. Add rice and sauce; cook for 1 1/2 minutes until liquid evaporates. Make a whole in the centre of the rice and vegetables.

Add 1/2 Tbs oil into the centre and pour the beaten eggs into the centre. Wait for 30 seconds and then cover the “egg well” with rice. Leave it for 30 seconds and continue to stir fry fried rice so the eggs form small pieces and mix well with the fried rice.

Now add bacon pieces and toss to mixed well. Spoon rice onto serving bowls. Enjoy!!!

Note: You can use frozen vegetables such as carrot, corn, capsicums, and peas. You can also use any vegetables of your choice. You can add lup cheong instead of just bacon. You may use herbs such as basil, parsley, coriander and kafir lime leaves. You can also add chicken, use pork, prawns, fish or beef.
