Easy Garlic Fried Rice with Chili Oil
Ingredients
- 3 cups cold, day-old rice (cooked), I used Jasmine rice in this recipe, you can use any white rice
- 3 large eggs
- 15 -20 clove garlic, minced
- 2 scallion, chopped, separate white from green parts
- 1 cup frozen vegetables, you can also use fresh chopped up veggies
- 2 tbsp light soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tsp white sugar
- ½ tsp salt, taste and add more as needed
- 1 tsp white pepper, taste and add more as needed
- 3 tbsp neutral oil
- chili oil, homemade or storebought
Instructions
- In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of neutral oil over medium-high heat. Beat 3 eggs in a bowl, pour into the pan, and scramble until just cooked. Transfer the eggs to a plate and set aside.
- In the same skillet or wok, add 2 tablespoons of neutral oil. Sauté garlic and white parts of green onion, until fragrant.
- Add rice, vegetables, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, salt, and white pepper. Stir-fry for a few minutes, breaking up any clumps, until the rice is evenly coated with the sauce.
- Return the cooked eggs to the wok. Then toss in the remaining green parts of the green onion. Mix until well combined. Taste and add more seasoning if desired.
- Remove from heat. Drizzle chili oil on top. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
*I recommend making a jar of my mom's famous homemade chili oil and store it in the refrigerator. You can add the chili oil to wontons, dumplings, noodles - however you like!
To make a small batch of chili oil for 3-4 servings, combine 2 tbsp light soy sauce, 1 tbsp black vinegar, ½ tbsp Chinese chili flakes, ½ tsp chili power, 3 clove minced garlic, and 1 chopped green onion in a heatproof bowl. Heat 2 tablespoon of neutral oil in a sauce pan and pour hot oil over the chili sauce. Mix until well combined. Drizzle over your garlic fried rice. Mix and enjoy!
