Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Make sure all your ingredients are prepped and ready to go before you start cooking.
- Heat Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
- Cook Onion and Garlic: Add the chopped onion and garlic to the skillet, sautéing until fragrant and translucent.
- Add Rice: Add the cooked brown rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps with a spatula. Stir everything together. Stir fry for 2-3 minutes to get some crispy bits.
- Season: Pour the soy sauce and oyster sauce (if using) over the rice mixture. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
