Burnt Garlic Corn and Peas Fried Rice

Burnt Garlic Corn And Peas Fried Rice is a Chinese dish. The combination of vegetables in this dish is unique, and compliments the garlic well. I have replaced the commonly used carrot and beans with corn and green peas.

Usually I do my cutting and chopping while the onions get sautéed, but not for Chinese. Please remember to always keep your veggies chopped and ready for use before putting that wok on fire. Quick sauteing on high flame is the trick for most chinese dishes.

The hero of this recipe is Garlic which lends an aromatic touch to this Chinese dish. Serve the Burnt Garlic Fried Rice hot, with a garnish of spring onions and fried garlic.
