Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Cooked white rice
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped
Instructions
Ensure the rice is cooked and slightly cooled so it doesn’t clump together when stir-frying.
In a large pan or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté until it becomes fragrant and lightly golden, about 1 minute.
Add the turmeric powder and paprika to the pan, stirring them into the garlic and oil until well combined.
Add the cooked white rice to the pan, breaking up any large clumps with a spatula.
Drizzle the soy sauce over the rice and continue to stir-fry, ensuring all grains are evenly coated.
Season the java rice with salt and ground black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Stir in the butter, allowing it to melt and coat the rice evenly.
Continue to stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the rice to absorb all the flavors.
Remove the pan from heat and sprinkle the chopped green onions over the rice.
Serve the java rice warm as a side dish alongside grilled meats or vegetables.
