Garlic Fried Rice
Ingredients
- 4 cups cold cooked rice (preferably day-old)
- 6-8 cloves garlic minced
- 3 tbsp cooking oil (vegetable oil or coconut oil works well)
- salt to taste
- Optional: chopped green onions or fried garlic for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Rice: Break apart the cold rice so it’s in separate grains, not clumped together.
- Sauté Garlic: Heat the oil in a large pan or wok over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and stir frequently until golden brown and fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic, as it will turn bitter.
- Add Rice: Add the rice to the pan, stirring well to mix with the garlic. Use the back of the spatula to gently break up any rice clumps.
- Season and Fry: Add a pinch of salt to taste. Continue frying the rice for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the rice is heated through and a little crispy.
- Garnish and Serve: Optionally, garnish with fried garlic or chopped green onions. Serve hot!
