Filipino Fried Rice

Here is a recipe how to make Filipino garlic fried rice - our favorite way to eat fried rice is to put scrambled eggs with it (it makes a great breakfast, lunch, or supper!)
My aunt who is Filipino, taught us how to make some very yummy Filipino food!

You can also add a few drops of soy sauce to the rice mixture.

  • Step 1:Heat 3 tbsp. cooking oil in a wok or large pan on medium-high heat.

  • Step 3:Add the rice and toss frequently for 1 minute.

  • Step 4:Sprinkle with about 1 tsp. salt.

  • Step 5: Cook rice on low for about 5 to 10 minutes, and toss rice occasionally.
