1. In a large skillet or wok, heat 2 tablespoons canola oil on medium-high. Add the garlic and shallots and cook until translucent, 2 minutes.

3. Meanwhile, in a medium nonstick pan, heat the remaining oil. Add the eggs and cook until the white has set and the yolk is still runny, 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and place an egg on top each portion of rice to serve.
