Ingredients

  • 4 eggs,
  • Sesame oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2-3 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 6 slices of shortcut bacon, diced
  • 1 carrot
  • Leftover chicken, diced
  • ⅓ cup frozen corn, defrosted
  • ⅓ cup frozen peas defrosted
  • 1 cup basmati rice, cooked
  • Oyster sauce
  • Soy Sauce
  • Sesame oil (optional)
  • 3 shallots, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Crack eggs into a bowl, add a few drops of sesame oil and whisk together. In a hot frypan, cook egg omelette on both sides. Lay on a chopping board and cut into small squares when cool.
  2. Cook onion, garlic and bacon together in a hot frypan over medium-high heat until the bacon is cooked and the onion is translucent. The garlic should be fragrant.
  3. Add the carrot and cook, stirring for 1 minute.
  4. Add the chicken and cook, stirring for another or so, until heated through
  5. Add the corn and peas and continue stirring for another minute to heat through.
  6. Add in the rice and stir through.
  7. Add the egg from step 1 and stir.
  8. Pour in the sauces. I don’t usually measure, just drizzle over the top and stir until all combined. Taste the fried rice and add extra sauce as needed.
  9. Top with shallots, stir through and serve.
