Garlic Fried Rice

Fried Rice is an easy resort for me whenever I have leftover rice. Usually leftover rice becomes a little sticky and none of us prefer that to eat with curry. So the more favorable option rather than throwing away is turning them into another bowl of deliciousness.

This recipe of fried rice is easy and uses minimum ingredients which are always available in the kitchen, i.e. eggs and garlic. Just switch on the flame to high and prepare your wok or sauteing pan to finish the job in just some minutes.

Garlic Fried Rice

Serves 2

Ingredients:

2 cups of cooked one day old jasmine rice

6 fat cloves of garlic – minced

1 tbsp dark soy sauce

1 tsp oyster sauce

1 tsp sesame oil

1 tbsp ground black peppercorns

2 large eggs

Salt

2 tbsp oil

Method:

In a bowl mix together the dark soy sauce, sesame oil and the oyster sauce. Keep aside.

Heat 1 tbsp oil in a wok or kadai and break the eggs into it.

Sprinkle some salt and pepper and cook the eggs until they become firm. Then tear it with a spoon to scramble and transfer to a separate bowl.

Heat the rest of the oil in the same kadai and add the minced garlic into it.

Put the flame on low and cook the garlic until you start to get its pungent aroma. Do not let the garlic turn brown.

Once you get the flavour add the rice into the wok / pan.

Put the flame on high and sauté the rice, stirring continuously for 2 minutes until you see the rice turning a little dry.

Drizzle the sauce over the rice and add the scrambled eggs.

Mix them well and season with salt and pepper.

Serve hot.
