Toyo Fried Rice

Ingredients: 

• 3 cups cooked and cooled white rice 
• 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
• ½ tablespoon dark soy sauce
• ½ teaspoon sesame oil
• ½ teaspoon sugar
• ¼ teaspoon ground white pepper
• 1 tablespoon neutral cooking oil
• 4 cloves garlic - minced
• 1 stalk scallions - finely chopped

Instructions: 

• Gently loosen the rice grains with a fork. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, mix light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and white pepper. Set aside.
• Heat a wok/skillet over high heat until hot, then pour in oil (see note 3 if using non-stick cookware). Stir in minced garlic and fry until it turns a little golden.
• Add the cooked rice. Mix with the garlic then use a spatula to spread it into a thin layer. Leave to fry undisturbed for around 20 seconds. Then flip and toss to heat further (loosen any lumps with the spatula).
• Once the rice becomes piping hot, pour the sauce mixture over and toss well to coat the grains evenly.
• Stir in chopped scallions before removing the wok/skillet from the heat. Dish out and serve immediately.
