Ingredients

3 cups cooked Agriko black rice (day-old, chilled)
6 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons cooking oil or butter
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup diced onion
1/2 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 stalks green onions, chopped

Instructions

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant and lightly golden, about 1-2 minutes. Set aside the crispy garlic and oil.
In the same wok, add remaining oil and pour in beaten eggs. Scramble lightly and remove from the pan, setting aside for later.
Add the chilled cooked black rice to the wok, breaking up any clumps with a spatula. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, allowing the rice to heat through and develop slightly crispy edges.
Add diced onions and mixed vegetables, continuing to stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until vegetables are heated through and onions become translucent.
Return the scrambled eggs to the wok, add soy sauce and black pepper, and toss everything together until well combined and evenly coated, about 1 minute.
Transfer to serving plates, top with crispy garlic, reserved garlic oil, and fresh green onions. Serve hot with fried eggs, longanisa, or your favorite breakfast protein on the side.

Chef's Tip

Use day-old refrigerated black rice for the best texture—the grains separate better and won't clump together. Fresh-cooked warm rice tends to get mushy when fried.
