Created by TwisSis on July 2, 2016

Ingredients

450 grams cooked rice (short grain, 2 1/2 cups cooked, make ahead & refrigerate overnight)
10 garlic cloves, minced (fresh garlic, Rachelle used a garlic press)
4 stalks spring onions, diced
3 large eggs (lightly beaten)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
5 tablespoons oil (vegetable oil)

Step 1: In a heated lrg wok or pan, add 2 tbsp veg oil & the minced garlic. Fry the garlic at med-low heat until golden brown. Watch them closely as they can brown quickly in a matter of seconds. Separate the oil & garlic & set aside.
Step 2: Combine the ingredients for the sauce & set aside.
Step 3: Add another 2 tbsp of oil to the hot wok. Pour the beaten eggs into the wok & swirl them around so they coat the wok. Let them sit for a min before using your spatula to cut the egg into small pieces. Push the scrambled eggs to one side of the wok.
Step 4: Turn up heat & add another 1 tbsp of oil. Add the cooked rice & stir-fry until they are loose. The wok should remain constantly at a high-heat.
Step 5: Add the salt, few dashes of black pepper & half of the fried garlic. Continue to mix for 1 min.
