    2 tbsp oil , peanut, vegetable or canola

    2 eggs , lightly whisked

    150g (5oz) chicken breast , finely sliced into small pieces

    2 garlic cloves , minced

    1/2 onion , finely chopped

    120g (4oz) bacon , excess fat trimmed, chopped

    1 small carrot , peeled and diced 0.75cm / 1/3″

    1/2 cup frozen corn (or can or fresh)

    1/2 cup frozen peas

    2 cups (packed) cooked white rice , day old

    3/4 cup green onions , finely sliced

    SAUCE:

    2.5 tbsp Chinese cooking wine or Mirin

    1 tbsp oyster sauce

    3 tbsp light soy sauce

    1/2 tsp sesame oil , optional

    1/4 tsp white pepper , optional

    Sauce & chicken: Mix Sauce in a bowl. Pour 2 tsp over chicken, toss to coat, then set aside for 10 minutes.

    Egg: Heat 1 tbsp oil in a wok or skillet over medium heat. Add egg and scramble until just cooked (still a touch wet) then remove.

    Fried Rice: Turn heat up to high, add remaining 1/2 tbsp oil and bacon into same skillet. Cook for 1 minute or so until fat starts to melt, then add onion and garlic.

    Cook until bacon is light golden – about 1 1/2 minutes. Add vegetables (still frozen is fine). Cook for 1 minute. Add chicken and cook until it changes from pink to white – about 1 1/2 minutes. Add rice and Sauce ingredients. Cook for 1 1/2 minutes, stirring consantly. Add egg and green onion, toss through to disperse then remove from heat.

    **notes**: This is my personal preference, but I usually skip the corn and add in some thinly sliced bird’s eye chili pepper.
    Serve immediately!
