Notes

Black Garlic Rice Recipe

 

Top Tips -
#1) Have the sauce mixed and all ingredients ready before heating your wok as the cooking process will only take 5 minutes.
#2) Heat your wok (or skillet) to hot before beginning, as all ingredients need to cook in a flash to impart that authentic fried rice flavour.  If you end up with mushy fried rice, the wok was not hot enough.
Heat the instant rice according to the directions on the packet.  The rice should be hot when added to the wok to maintain the cooking heat.
What can I add to Fried Rice: -
Bacon is a popular addition, dice and sauté it with the onion at the beginning. Prawns are delicious with fried rice. Choose peeled, cooked prawns and add to the finished dish. Or if you prefer fried tofu is another popular vegetarian option, in which case, use a vegetarian oyster sauce.   
Black Garlic and Fried Rice: -
Black Garlic puree is whisked with egg to form an omelette, and the diced cloves are added to the rice before serving. Double Whammy for Black Garlic. Enjoy!
