- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 onion
- 2 cups rice

Step 1
Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear.

While the rice is cooking, heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent.
Step 4
Add the sardines (including the oil from the cans) to the pan and break them up with a spoon. Cook for 3-4 minutes.

Stir in the soy sauce, black pepper, and chopped green onions. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.

Once the rice is done, fluff it with a fork and serve it with the sardine mixture on top.
