Fried Rice with Sunny-Side-Up Egg Topped with Crisped Ginger and Garlic

Ingredients For the toasted ginger and garlic topping:

• 2 tablespoons peanut oil
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon minced ginger
• Salt

Ingredients:

• 2 cups day old cooked rice
• 3 tablespoons peanut oil
• 1 cup onion finely chopped (or other vegetables you have on hand such as peppers, celery, carrots)
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 teaspoons soy sauce

Instructions:

In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the peanut oil.  Add in the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring occasionally until it is crisp and brown.  Transfer to a plate with a paper towel and salt lightly.  Let it cool. 

In a large skillet, heat on medium and add vegetables.  Cook for 5-10 minutes until tender, stirring occasionally.  

Add the rice and cook stirring well until heated through.  Season to taste with salt.  

In a nonstick skillet, fry eggs in 1 tablespoon peanut oil, sunny-side-up, until edges are set but yolk is still runny.  

Divide rice among 2 plates. Top each with an egg and drizzle with a little sesame oil and soy sauce. 

Sprinkle with the crisped garlic and ginger over everything and enjoy!
