The trick to getting the best-fried rice? Cook the rice a day ahead and refrigerate it overnight, covered, so it dries out.
INGREDIENTS
- 1/3 cup (80ml) peanut oil
- 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 300g minced pork
- 1/4 cup (80g) chili bean sauce
- 1 bunch of garlic chives, chopped
- 4 cups (580g) cooked jasmine rice or other long-grain rice
- Fried eggs, to serve
METHOD
- Heat oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes until golden. Remove using a slotted spoon and set aside. Add pork to the garlic oil in the wok and cook, breaking up mince with a wooden spoon, for 6-7 minutes until lightly caramelized. Add chili bean sauce and cook for 2 minutes or until lightly caramelized. Add chives and rice and cook, tossing in the pan, for 3 minutes or until colored. To serve, top with fried eggs and scatter with crisp garlic.
