Basic Fried Rice

Rice is staple in Asia. We eat rice at least once a day. Once upon a time, rice was eaten with side dishes and condiments.

Today, as we are busy, we are looking for nice, humble dishes to satisfy our everhungry self. One such dish is Fried Rice. Its simple to cook and nice to eat. Its fail proof too! :D

Basic Fried Rice

Prep time: 10 mins

Cook time: 10 mins

Serves: 2 pax

Ingredients:

3 cups of white Jasmine rice (cooked the last night in order to fry it this morning)
2 whole eggs (whisked)

2 garlic (chopped)

1 medium size red onion (julienne)

Salt & Pepper to taste

2tbsp vegetable oil

P/S: Why use overnight rice?

Left in the fridge overnight, the rice grains will firm up, making it easier to separate and decreasing the chances of your fried rice turning out mushy. If you can’t wait, air freshly-cooked rice to remove moisture and refrigerate the rice for two hours before cooking.

Method:

1. Heat up oil

2. Fry garlic and onion. Do not over fried, just enough that the onions are caramelised.

3. Add in the eggs. When its half done, add in the rice. Add salt and pepper to taste.

4. Serves while its still hot !

EASY? Yes! Its that EASY!
