Instructions

Using your hands, break up clumps and separate cooked rice into individual grains. This will make stir-frying easy.
Place a large wok over high heat. Add cooking oil once the wok starts smoking. Lower the heat then add the garlic and sauté until it turns golden brown.
Add the kalkag and stir-fry for 2 minutes or until the kalkag turns brown and becomes crispy.
Add the rice and continuously stir for 5 minutes.
Add Mama Sita’s Oyster Sauce, spring onions, and ground black pepper. Mix well.
