Frugal Food | 中国翻炒 Chinese Stir Fry

Ingredients

Unsmoked bacon

Chinese leaves or white cabbage

Boiled rice

Canola Oil

Soya sauce

Chinese 5 Spice

Chopped spring onions

I doubt if this recipe is anything like genuine Chinese food but I enjoyed it! I put a few tablespoons of Canola oil into the wok and stir fried my chopped bacon; I used half a packet. Then I added the boiled rice and stirred constantly. The Chinese leaves should cook quickly but I used white cabbage and part cooked that. It cooked quickly (boiled) because it was finely chopped. The white cabbage is added about 2 minutes after the rice and keep stirring. Then add the chopped spring onion. I didn’t have spring onions either so used very finely chopped red onion. When everything looks cooked add  a tablespoon of soya sauce and sprinkle on the 5 spice; stir and cook another minute. Then serve; delicious!

You can add any vegetables you want to, peas are good. You can also substitute the bacon for chopped pork or chicken. Have fun with your cooking.
