Equipment

  • Wok or large skillet, preferably nonstick

Ingredients
 

  • 3-4 cups day-old rice or refrigerated/chilled left-over rice, (or however much you have)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or oil of choice
  • 3-5 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
  • 1-2 tbsp soy sauce, adjust to taste and based on the amount of rice
  • salt, adjust to taste
  • 2 eggs, beaten (optional)
  • handful frozen peas and corn, (optional, or whatever vegetables you have at hand)

Instructions
 

  • Heat about 1-2 tablespoons of oil in a pan or wok. In low heat, sauté the garlic until aromatic and golden. Don't let the garlic burn. Set aside a tablespoon for garnishing later.
  • Add the cold rice to the wok, then press with a spatula or wooden spoon to break the grains apart. Repeat until all grains have separated. Cook rice until warmed up. Season with a little salt. Add the soy sauce and mix with the rice until most of the grains are coated.
  • You may scramble the eggs in another pan and just add it later after it’s been cooked. But if you have a big enough wok or wide enough pan, create a well/space in the middle of it by pushing the rice to the side. Spray a little oil in the middle and then pour the beaten eggs.
    Let it set. When the eggs have set enough, flip them over, then begin mixing them with the rice, breaking them up as you go. 
  • Thereafter, add the frozen peas and corn, and continue stirring until the veggies are cooked for about 2-3 mins. Season the rice with more soy sauce or salt as needed.
    Sprinkle with the remaining minced garlic and serve immediately.
