Garlic Mayo Fried Rice
I recently came across some recipes that used mayo in fried rice. From what I can tell, it is a Japanese technique and of course I had to try it! I like the way the mayo coats every grain of rice keeping them from sticking together which gives the fried rice a unique mouth-feel. Each grain is slightly crispy with a tender and fluffy centre.This is a simple and basic recipe using garlic for flavour and adding eggs to make it a bit more substantial. It can be a light lunch or be used as a side dish. You can definitely add whatever meat and/or veggies to make it a full one-pan meal.Feel free to try this method using whatever leftover rice you have and/or use regular mayonnaise.You’ll have to give it a try and let me know what you think!
