Rustic Fried Rice with tamarind glaze

Method

1. Gather and prep everything first: long-grain rice, olive oil, yellow onion and set within reach of the stove.
2. Warm a splash of olive oil in a heavy pan over medium heat, then add the scallions and cook until soft and fragrant, about 4 to 5 minutes.
3. Add the fried rice and let it rustic, undisturbed, so it takes on real color before you stir.
4. Stir in the olive oil along with a good pinch of salt, scraping up anything stuck to the bottom of the pan.
5. Off the heat, brighten it up with a handful of herbs and a final crack of pepper.
6. Serve warm, ideally with something to soak up the sauce.
