Simple Fried Rice

Ingredients:

2 cups uncooked Thai jasmine rice
4 cups water (for rice)
2 cloves finely chopped garlic
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/8 cup Maggi seasoning sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 cup frozen peas
1/2 cup frozen diced carrots
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
2 eggs
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
3-5 tablespoons of vegetable oil

Instructions:

To rice cooker, add 2 cups uncooked rice and 4 cups water.  Cook until done.  (Can also cook on stove-- follow package directions).  When rice is cooked, set aside until completely cooled. (Sometimes I cook rice the night before and refrigerate it overnight).

In a small bowl, slightly beat eggs and add garlic salt.  Scramble eggs in skillet with 2 tablespoons of oil until just cooked.  Set aside.

In large skillet on medium heat, add 3 tablespoons oil, cook garlic until golden brown.  Reduce heat to medium-low.  Add cooled rice, soy sauce, Maggi seasoning sauce, sugar and white pepper.  Mix well.

Defrost peas and carrots in a microwave safe bowl until tender (1-2 minutes on high).  Add to rice.  Lastly, add eggs back into rice.  Gently mix ingredients together.  Serve immediately.
