Finely chop the onion and garlic. Dice the bacon into small pieces.

In a large skillet or wok, fry the bacon pieces over medium heat until crispy. If it releases too much fat, drain some of it.
4
Add the onion and garlic to the bacon, and sauté until translucent over medium heat.
5
Move the onion and bacon mixture to the side of the pan, and crack two eggs into the center. Scramble, cooking until they reach a scrambled egg-like consistency.
6
Add the cooked and cooled rice, then mix well with the bacon and eggs.
7
Pour in the soy sauce and sprinkle with black pepper. Mix well, and cook for another 2-3 minutes over high heat.
