- Toss and cook stirring continuously until vegetables are cooked thoroughly, about 5 minutes.
- Add the cooked rice, reserved sauteed garlic, black pepper, soy sauce, vinegar, salt and sugar.
- I also added some chili garlic sauce to the rice. You can add any chili sauce or skip it for milder fried rice.
- Mix well and cook it by stirring it occasionally so that the rice is hot and coated well with all the spices.
- Serve the fried rice topped with green part of the spring onion and crispy fried garlic.
Notes
- Do not saute the garlic till dark brown, it will become bitter.
- Make sure the rice is cooled and dry before making the fried rice.
- If making the rice fresh, spread the rice in large plate and let it dry a bit.
- Soy sauce, vinegar and pepper can be adjusted according to your taste.
- Chili sauce is optional, if you are serving the fried rice by itself definitely add it. But if you are serving with astir fry you can skip it.
