Ingredients- 6 cloves garlic
- A small bunch of green onions (scallions)
- 1.5 Tbsp butter
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 serving cooked rice (approx. 200g), preferably warm
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, thinly slice the garlic cloves. This is key to releasing their full aroma! Finely chop the green onions. Using the white parts of the green onions will add extra flavor.
Step 2
Heat about 1-2 Tbsp of cooking oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Add the sliced garlic and sauté until it’s golden brown and fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic, as this will affect the taste. Sautéing it well infuses the oil with delicious garlic flavor.
Step 3
Once the garlic is nicely browned, add the warm cooked rice to the pan. Toss in the chopped green onions. Now, add the star ingredients: 1.5 Tbsp of butter and 1 Tbsp of soy sauce. Adjust the amount of soy sauce to your preference.
Step 4
Using a spatula, gently break up any clumps of rice and stir-fry everything together until well combined. The butter will melt, coating each grain of rice and adding a wonderful richness. Keep stirring to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Step 5
Transfer the perfectly cooked garlic butter fried rice to a serving dish. Enjoy the sizzling sound and the delightful aroma of butter and garlic that fills the air! For an extra touch, you can sprinkle some black pepper on top before serving.
