Ingredients Needed:

• 2 tablespoons sesame oil (or vegetable oil such as canola), divided
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 2 slices bacon, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• ½-inch piece of fresh ginger, minced
• 2 green onions, thinly sliced, whites and greens separated
• ¼ cup frozen peas
• 1 carrot, peeled and diced
• 2 cups day-old rice
• ⅛ teaspoon white pepper
• 1½ tablespoons soy sauce

How To Make Chicken Fried Rice Recipe?

1. Scramble the Egg: Heat 15ml sesame oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beaten egg and cook for about 1 minute, stirring with a spatula until no longer runny. Remove the scrambled egg from the pan and set aside.
2. Cook the Bacon: Add diced bacon to the wok and cook until crispy, about 2 minutes. Then, add the minced garlic, ginger, and the white parts of the green onions, stir-frying for 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Add Veggies and Rice: Add the frozen peas (40g) and diced carrot to the wok, cooking for 1 minute until the peas are defrosted. Then, add the day-old rice (350g) and the green parts of the green onions. Stir to combine, breaking up any rice clumps.
4. Brown the Rice: Let the rice cook undisturbed for about 3 minutes until it starts to brown. While waiting, whisk together white pepper, soy sauce, and the remaining sesame oil in a small bowl.
5. Add the Sauce: Drizzle the sauce mixture over the rice and stir to combine. Continue cooking undisturbed for 2 more minutes until the bottom of the rice becomes crispy.

Recipe Tips:

• Use Day-Old Rice: Fresh rice is too sticky for fried rice. Use rice that’s been cooled and stored in the fridge overnight for the best texture.
• Customize the Veggies: Feel free to swap peas and carrots for other vegetables like bell peppers or broccoli, depending on what you have.
• Don’t Skip the Crispy Rice: Let the rice sit undisturbed in the pan for a few minutes to create that crispy, flavorful bottom layer.
• Adjust the Soy Sauce: If you prefer a saltier or milder flavor, feel free to adjust the amount of soy sauce to your taste.
• Use High Heat: Cooking on medium-high heat helps to quickly fry the rice and give it that perfect texture without overcooking the ingredients.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Allow the leftover Chicken Fried Rice to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, put it in an airtight container and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Freeze: Do the same as refrigerating. After freezing, thaw the rice in the fridge overnight before reheating. You can freeze it for up to 1 month.
• Reheat: Heat some oil or water in a pan over medium heat. Add the rice and stir occasionally for 3-5 minutes until heated through.
