Ingredients
- 7 garlic cloves minced
- 1 ½ cups leftover adobo* protein chopped & bay leaves removed
- 3 cups cold cooked rice
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 2 green onions thinly sliced, optional for garnish
- 4 eggs optional for serving
Instructions
- Heat a large pan or wok on medium-high heat, then add a little oil, then minced garlic. Saute for a few seconds, or until soft and fragrant.
- Add the chopped adobo & its sauce, saute for a couple of minutes, or until meat is heated through.
- Toss in the rice, combine with meat, then spread across the pan to toast for a few seconds, tossing occasionally. Once well combined and heated through. If there isn’t enough sauce, you can add a splash of light soy sauce along edges of the pan to create a char. Make sure to taste the fried rice before adding more salt so it won’t be too salty. Season with fresh cracked pepper if needed.
- Turn off heat, & garnish with green onions.
- Optional: Fry eggs until desired doneness (I love my eggs sunny side up!). Serve with adobo fried rice & enjoy!
