   INGREDIENTS:-

• 1/4 cup canola oil
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon minced ginger

• 1 cup thinly sliced leeks, white and light green parts only, rinsed and dried
• 2 cups day-old cooked rice, preferably jasmine, at room temperature
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil

     METHOD:.

      In a wok or large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Add garlic and          ginger and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp and brown. With a slotted spoon,        transfer to paper towels and salt lightly.

      Reduce heat under skillet to medium-low and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of          oil and the leeks. Cook about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season lightly with        salt.

     Raise heat to medium and add rice. Cook, stirring well, until heated through.                 Season to taste with salt.

     In a nonstick skillet, fry eggs in remaining oil, sunny-side-up, until edges are set             but yolk is still runny.

     Divide rice among two dishes. Top each with an egg and drizzle with 1/2 teaspoon         sesame oil and 1 teaspoon soy sauce. Sprinkle crisped garlic and ginger over                 everything and enjoy hot.
