Garlic Fried Rice

 Garlic Fried Rice

Serves 4

2 cups of rice-cooked in well salted water, rinsed and cooled

In a large wok, heat a knob of butter and oil. Fry until lightly golden—a pod of garlic thinly sliced or hand chopped.

Immediately, add 1/3 cup of mirin and a dash of sesame oil. Add half the rice and keep tossing. Add more and keep tossing. Put it into 4 bowls.

In the same hot pan, heat a dash of butter and oil. Now add a well beaten egg, with a teaspoon of cold water and a dash of salt. Keep moving the pan to ensure the omelette is as thin as possible.

Flip it over onto a large platter. Roll the egg lightly and cut into ribbons. Divide into 4 and sprinkle the bowls of rice with the egg. Serve.
