Step 1

Gently loosen the rice grains with a fork. Set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and white pepper. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat a wok/skillet over high heat until hot, then pour in oil (see note 3 if using non-stick cookware). Stir in minced garlic and fry until it turns a little golden.

Step 4

Add the cooked rice. Mix with the garlic then use a spatula to spread it into a thin layer. Leave to fry undisturbed for around 20 seconds. Then flip and toss to heat further (loosen any lumps with the spatula).

Step 5

Once the rice becomes piping hot, pour the sauce mixture over and toss well to coat the grains evenly.

Step 6

Stir in chopped scallions before removing the wok/skillet from the heat. Dish out and serve immediately.
