Perfect Rice for Stir Frying

Heat the oil on medium heat in a pot that has a lid.

Put the garlic and the onions in the pot and let them simmer until they are soft. They have to stay lightly colored, not brown.

When the garlic and onion are soft, throw in the rice. Give it a good stir so that all the rice is covered with the oil.

Turn the heat on high and stir some more for a few minutes.

Pour in some hot water and salt until the rice is nearly covered. Give it a good stir and turn the heat to low. Pour in the remaining water and cover the pot with a lid.

After 15 or 20 minutes, the rice will be ready.

We love to eat it just like that but the best part is that you can stir fry it properly. Especially the next day or even later than that; it will be good up to 3 days in the fridge.

You do not need more oil to stir fry. Throw in some veggies and some sliced chicken or beef.

Tip: If you like yellow rice, add some garam masala, curcuma (turmeric) or saffron with the garlic and union. It looks good with broccoli or other green vegetables.
