Ingredients- 6 cloves garlic
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1 bowl cooked rice (approx. 200g), preferably warm
- 2 stalks scallions
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp cooking oil
- 10g butter
- Pinch of black pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the garlic. Wash and pat dry 6 cloves of garlic. Slice them thinly into ‘slivers’ or ‘chips’. Ensure they are cut evenly so they cook uniformly without burning.
Step 2
Next, prepare the scallions. Wash the 2 stalks of scallions thoroughly and finely chop them. You can separate the white and green parts if you like, though it’s not strictly necessary for this recipe.
Step 3
Heat a pan over medium-low heat and add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil. Add both the thinly sliced garlic and the minced garlic to the pan. Sauté slowly until the garlic turns a beautiful golden brown and becomes fragrant. This slow cooking process develops a deep, rich garlic flavor.
Step 4
Once the garlic is golden brown, pour 1 tablespoon of soy sauce along the edge of the pan. Immediately add 1 bowl of warm cooked rice. Stir-fry everything together, allowing the rice to get coated with the oil and soy sauce.
Step 5
Continue to stir-fry until the rice grains are well-coated and slightly toasted. Add the chopped scallions and cook for another minute until they are slightly wilted. Finally, add the 10g of butter to the pan and let it melt.
Step 6
Gently toss the rice to incorporate the melted butter evenly, ensuring it coats every grain. Season with a pinch of black pepper. Your aromatic garlic fried rice is now complete! Serve immediately while hot and enjoy this delicious, health-boosting meal.
