Burnt Garlic Fried Rice Japanese Style

The brilliant part of flexible eating is that you can eat anything. Like this isn't a cheat meal. On my programs it's a fancier rice. Which is fine. While it's not a meal on its own, it's perfectly okay to eat even while trying to lose weight !!

The power of flexible eating !! 

Here is the recipe

Ingredients :

• 1 cup raw rice to be cooked/boiled and kept aside 
• 2 eggs (optional)
• 1/2 chopped spring onions 
• 2-3 tsp of light soya sauce / 2 tsp dark soya 
• 1/2 tsp sugar 
• 1/4 tsp pepper powder 
• Salt to taste 
• 1 whole garlic cut into chips ( picture at the end)
• 1 whole garlic chopped into small pieces 
• 2 tbsp oil 

Method

How to make the eggs (optional)

• Break the eggs into a bowl add pinch of salt , beat the eggs and keep aside 
• Take a kadhai /wok add the 2 tsp oil 
• Heat the oil when the oil becomes a little hot add the eggs and leave it 
• Will be like a round omlette , when the omlette starts to cook then break it and stir fry .The eggs should be soft .
• Remove and keep aside 

The main recipe

• In the same kadhai/wok add the oil 
• Then add the garlic into the cold oil (which have been cut like chips see below)

• Lastly add the scrambled egg and mix it in .

Notes : 
Rice : cold leftover rice works well here too. If you have a local rice like red rice, you can use that too to get a better and more chewy type texture.
