Step-by-Step Instructions

Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat until it begins to smoke slightly.

Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and diced bacon to the pan. Stir-fry for about 1.5 minutes until the bacon is lightly golden and the aromatics are fragrant.

Toss in the diced vegetables (frozen vegetables work perfectly here). Cook for 2 minutes to allow them to defrost and for any excess moisture to evaporate.

Add the cooked day-old rice along with the Chinese cooking wine, oyster sauce, light soy sauce, sesame oil, and white pepper. Stir-fry vigorously for 1.5 minutes until the grains are well-coated and the liquid has evaporated.

Push the rice mixture to one side of the wok. Add a small splash of oil to the cleared space and pour in the whisked eggs. Scramble the eggs until they are fully set and cooked through; avoid a 'soft scramble' to ensure the best texture in the rice.
