Ingredients
  • 3 cups Cooked Rice (day-old is best)
  • 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 2 tbsp Soy Sauce
  • 1 tbsp Sesame Oil
  • 1 Eggs
  • 2 tbsp Green Onions (chopped)
  • 1 tbsp Vegetable Oil
  • To taste Salt and Pepper

Prepare the Ingredients

Make sure you have cooked rice ready (day-old rice is best for texture). Mince the garlic and chop the green onions.

Cook the Egg

Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Crack the egg into the skillet and scramble it until cooked through. Remove the egg from the skillet and set aside.

Sauté the Garlic

Add sesame oil to the same skillet. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Add the Rice

Add the cooked rice to the skillet and break it up with a spatula. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, or until the rice is heated through and slightly toasted.

Add Soy Sauce and Egg

Pour soy sauce over the rice and stir-fry to combine. Add the cooked egg back to the skillet and stir-fry for another minute.

Garnish and Serve

Stir in the chopped green onions. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
