1 teaspoon chicken bouillon powder
2 tablespoon soy sauce
1 handful dried nori
seaweed, sliced
1 handful bonito flakes
1 handful chopped green shallots
How to make Japanese garlic fried rice:
Heat a large skillet or wok until smoking hot. Add canola oil and heat until it shimmers.
Add garlic and fry until fragrant.
Add the rice and bouillon powder; toss well.
Next, add soy sauce and mix vigorously until the rice grains are evenly coated.
Remove from heat.
Serve the Japanese fried rice in bowls and sprinkle with seaweed, bonito flakes and some green shallots. Serve immediately.
*Freshly cooked rice becomes sticky when fried. Instead, use leftover rice or three parts uncooked rice to four parts water to cook Japanese rice for best results.
