    Season and cook the duck breast: Pat the duck breasts dry. Season generously with onion powder, all-purpose seasoning, salt, garlic powder, and white pepper. Heat a wok or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Place duck breasts skin-side down and cook until crispy and golden brown, then flip and cook until desired doneness. Remove, slice, and set aside.

    Prepare other ingredients: Mince garlic and grate ginger. Ensure your Tilda rice is cooked and cooled, preferably day-old, for the best fried rice texture. Prepare any additional vegetables, chopping them into small, uniform pieces.

    Using cold, day-old rice prevents the fried rice from becoming mushy and ensures individual grains.

    Stir-fry aromatics and pepper mix: Add palm oil to the hot wok. Once shimmering, add the minced garlic and grated ginger, stir-frying until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Add the prepared pepper mix and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until it has cooked down and lost most of its raw flavor.
