Method
 

Instructions
  1. Prepare Sauce: In a bowl, mix together the Chinese cooking wine, oyster sauce, light soy sauce, sesame oil, white pepper, and ground ginger until well combined. Set it aside.
  2. Prep Ingredients: Mince the garlic, dice the onion and carrot, and slice the green onions, separating the whites and greens. Cut the chicken and bacon into ½-inch pieces.
  3. Scramble Eggs: Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a hot wok over medium heat. Pour in the beaten eggs, stirring gently until scrambled and just set, then remove them from the wok to a plate.
  4. Cook Bacon and Aromatics: In the same wok, add the bacon pieces first, followed by the minced garlic and diced onion. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Add Chicken: Toss in the chicken pieces. Stir for 1-1.5 minutes, cooking until mostly done, and edges turn golden brown.
  6. Add Vegetables: Mix in the diced carrot, corn, and peas; stir-fry for 1 minute until they're heated.
  7. Incorporate Rice and Sauce: Add in your day-old rice, breaking up any clumps. Pour in the prepared sauce, and stir for about 1.5 minutes.
  8. Combine Eggs and Green Onions: Fold the scrambled eggs and the white parts of the green onions back into the mixture. Mix for another 30 seconds.
  9. Serve: Transfer the fried rice into bowls, and garnish with the green parts of the green onions.

Notes

For extra crunch, add a sprinkle of sesame seeds on top before serving.
