Prep Time

The prep time for this dish is roughly 10-15 minutes, depending on how quickly you can chop the ingredients.

Cook Time

The cook time for this dish is about 10-15 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups cooked Japanese short-grain rice
  • 4-5 garlic cloves, minced

Notes

  • Make sure to use cooked, chilled rice for this recipe. Freshly cooked rice will be too moist and won't fry properly.
  • You can add additional vegetables or proteins to this dish, such as carrots, peas, shrimp, or chicken.
  • Adjust the amount of garlic to your liking - you can use more or less depending on your preference.

Recipe Tips

  • Use a non-stick skillet or wok to prevent the rice from sticking.
  • Make sure to break up any clumps of rice before adding it to the skillet.
  • Don't overcook the eggs - they should be soft and slightly runny.

  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
