Ingredients

2 cups Agriko black rice, cooked and cooled
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium onion, diced
½ cup diced chicken or tofu
¼ cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 teaspoon brown sugar
2 eggs, beaten eggs
¼ cup green onions, chopped

Instructions

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Scramble the beaten eggs until fully cooked, then set aside.
Add remaining oil to the wok and sauté minced garlic and diced onion until fragrant and softened, about 2 minutes.
Add diced chicken or tofu and stir-fry until cooked through, approximately 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, white vinegar, and brown sugar to create the adobo sauce.
Add the cooked Agriko black rice to the wok, breaking up any clumps. Stir continuously for 3-4 minutes until heated through.
Pour the adobo sauce over the rice and toss well to combine, ensuring even coating. Add the scrambled eggs back and mix gently.
Cook for 2 more minutes until the sauce reduces slightly and coats the rice grains. Top with fresh green onions and serve hot.

Chef's Tip

For the best results, use day-old Agriko black rice that has been refrigerated—it separates better during stir-frying and prevents clumping. If using freshly cooked rice, spread it on a plate to cool completely before adding to the wok.
