How to cook Easy Basic Stir-Fried Rice

  1. If you are using raw meat, saute it first in olive oil and garlic or granulated garlic, adding around 3 tablespoons of soy sauce set aside when cooked.
  2. In a large fry pan melt butter. Add garlic and egg stir fry until completely cooked. 
  3. Add rice saute until rice is browned around 10 minutes or more flipping rice to brown on both sides. 
  4. Add the meat, and any vegetables using the mixture. 
  5. Continue to cook until rice till soft and everything is heated and cooked how you prefer. Remove from heat.
