Simple but Yummy Garlic Fried Rice Recipe

   
   Fond of eating fried rice?  Here's a simple, yet delicious Garlic Fried Rice recipe to satisfy your craving.  

   I personally like cooking fried rice for breakfast. It's a great way to use left over rice from the night before and it's quick to prepare because it only uses basic ingredients. However, feel free to add more ingredients (e.g. carrots, eggs, peas and others) if you wish, but what I've listed below already makes a delicious rice dish.

   This delicious fried rice recipe is great especially if you haven't done your groceries yet because it doesn't make use of a lot of ingredients.  

What You'll Need:

4-5 cloves of garlic, minced
3- 4 cups of cooked, leftover rice
2 tbsp olive oil or any vegetable oil
peppermill or white ground pepper
2 spoonful of  roughly chopped parsley
salt to taste
garlic powder


What to Do:

1.  Break cooked leftover rice by using hands.  
2.  In low heat, drizzle pan with oil and add garlic.  Stir constantly until garlic gets that brownish color. Do not overcook or it will turn bitter.  
3. Once the garlic turns brownish, stir in rice and allow garlic to mix well with the rice.  Increase to medium heat and cook rice for 5 minutes stirring once in a while. The rice will separate due to heat, but keep it moving so that it won't burn the bottom.  
4.  Season with salt and pepper according to taste.  You may also add garlic powder if you want it to be more garlicky.  After all, it's a garlic fried rice recipe!
5.  Add chopped parsley and mix well.  

N.B. I like using peppermill instead of ground pepper because it has more taste and aroma. Others also like to drizzle rice with a little soy sauce to add color, but I like mine looking pale just  fine.  Parsley is also optional although it really helps if it's there because it gives the rice a unique flavor apart from garlic.
