Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons olive oil or neutral oil
- 1/4 cup sweet onion, chopped about 1/4
- 1/2 inch peeled ginger, minced approximately 1 tablespoon
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 cups cooked rice refrigerated overnight
- 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped small handful
- 1/4 cup scallion, chopped 2-3 stalks
- 1/4 teaspoon salt or 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce or oyster sauce (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare all the aromatics and set aside.
- Heat up wok or frying pan on medium high heat (medium heat if using a non-stick frying pan, if using a stainless steel frying pan, use a little non-stick cooking spray before stir frying).
- When the wok or frying pan is sufficiently hot (4-5 minutes), add oil and sweet onions, stir-fry 2-3 minutes.
- Add ginger and garlic, stir fry another 1-2 minutes until the ginger and garlic are fragrant.
- Add the cooked and chilled rice to the pan and stir fry, breaking up the large chunks while mixing in the aromatics.
- Keep stir frying until the rice is thoroughly heated up and add the cilantro and scallion.
- The rice should be quite delicious as is with a fresh and aromatic flavor, but you may adjust to taste with a sprinkle of salt, oyster sauce, or soy sauce (optional).
