Method
 

  1. I start by heating vegetable oil in a pot over medium heat.

  5. Once cooked, I set the rice aside and let it cool slightly.
  6. In a large pan, I heat vegetable oil over medium heat.
  7. I add chopped onion and garlic and sauté until lightly golden.

  11. I finish by topping the rice with chopped spring onion and serve hot.

Notes

  • Cooking the rice with chicken stock adds extra flavor without extra seasoning.
  • This recipe is great for leftovers and reheats well.
