Olongapo (Fried Rice)
2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
Oil for stir fry
1 cup meat, any type cooked or raw
MSG
1 onion, chopped
Soy sauce
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 cup celery, chopped
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
2 to 3 whole green onions, chopped
1 egg, beaten
Add sufficient oil to stir fry in your wok or to cover the
bottom of a frying pan.
If the meat is raw, add it to hot oil and
stir fry until almost done.
Add onions and garlic, stir frying
until onions are beginning to brown on the edges.
Sprinkle a
generous portion of MSG across the entire surface of the oil, then
add a serving spoon full of soy sauce.
Be careful.
The soy sauce
causes the oil to “pop” a bit.
After the oil has calmed, add the
celery, cooking just a bit, still keeping it crunchy.
Add the rice
and stir gently.
If you constantly stir the rice, it will become
mushy.
When rice is hot throughout, add cilantro, chopped green onion
and beaten egg.
Stir gently until egg is done.
Garnish with a bit
more green onion if you like.
Serve with additional soy sauce.
When you add the egg, you can
also add fresh tomato bits, mushroom slices and French-cut green
beans.
