Garlic Fried Rice (5 ingredients & 10 minutes)

🧂 Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked rice

  (day-old, refrigerated)
• 1/8 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

  (to taste)
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce

  (to taste)
• 2 tablespoons cooking oil
• 2 tablespoons chopped garlic
• 1 1/2 tablespoons roughly chopped white parts of scallions
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

  (to taste)

Instructions

• 1 In a shallow plate (or mixing bowl), mix rice with turmeric powder, salt, soy
  sauce and 1/2-1 tablespoon of oil. While doing this, use your fingers to break
  up the rice.
• 2 Place a wok or pan over medium heat and add about 1 tablespoon of oil. Once the
  oil is hot, add chopped garlic. Stir and cook over gentle heat for a minute
  until fragrant. Move the garlic around constantly and be careful to not burn the
  garlic.
• 3 Add the chopped white parts of scallions to the pan. Continue to stir and cook
  for another minute until fragrant and some of the garlic pieces just start to
  turn golden. Adjust the heat as needed to avoid burning the garlic.
• 4 Add rice to the pan and increase the heat to medium-high. Stir and toss
  constantly for 1-2 minutes until rice is coated with oil, the inside is heated
  through and the outside is still firm/crisp. Cook for another 30-60 seconds if
  you want softer rice.
• 5 Sprinkle black pepper over rice. Turn off the heat and transfer to serving bowls
  or plates immediately.
