Chappy’s Garlic Fried Rice

Ingredients

• 2 cups water
• 1 cup uncooked white rice
• 1 teaspoon butter
• 1 small onion, minced
• 1 large clove garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon diced chile pepper
• 1 egg, beaten
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil (optional)

Directions

Bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool.

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion, garlic, and chile pepper in hot butter until fragrant and lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes.

Stir cooked rice, egg, soy sauce, and sesame oil into onion mixture. Cook and stir until egg is cooked through and rice is coated and heated through, 3 to 5 minutes.
