Agnes's Mom's Fried Rice
Serves 2

2 cups day-old rice
2 tbsp vegetable oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 cup frozen green peas
salt and pepper
1 egg (optional)

Saute garlic in oil until slightly brown on medium-low heat in a wok. On high heat, add the rice and coat evenly with the garlic oil. Season with salt and pepper. Add the peas to the rice; stir fry until peas are hot. Make a well in the middle of the rice, coat bottom of the wok with a bit more oil, and scramble one egg. When eggs are done, stir everything together. Season once more with salt to taste. I just fried the egg separately and served it on top of the rice.
