Recipe for fried rice
3 cups of cooked white rice
2 cups chopped carrots
2 scrambled eggs
4-5 cloves of garlic
1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
Soy sauce
Other suggested ingredients include: celery, peas, and ham. Chicken works too, but ham is preferable.
Cook in a wok big enough to hold all the ingredients (A large boiling pot when cooking larger batches). You want the wok to be as hot as it can be.
- Put about 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in the wok then add in the garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook till the oil starts to absorbs the red pepper and turns slightly brown.
- Add the ingreadients you are using and the white rice. Start stirring it until the ingreadients are amply mixed with the white rice.
- Sprinkle in a tablespoon of black pepper and some soy sauce. How much soy sauce you use if any, is up to your discretion. I usually cook in enough to give the rice color and add more when I am eating the fried rice.
- Fry the rice to your discretion, if the wok doesn't get hot enough to burn the rice it doesn't make much of a difference how long you fry it. Let it cool and enjoy it....
