Equipment

  • Wok, skillet, or sauté pan

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil sub: neutral oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 head garlic minced (see note)
  • 6 cups cooked white rice (see note)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Break up the rice with a fork to separate the grains. If you're using freshly cooked rice, spread it to cool for a few minutes.
  • Heat a wok or skillet over medium heat and add the oil and butter.
  • Sauté the garlic until it becomes fragrant and turns golden brown, about a minute. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
  • Add the rice to the pan and toss it together with the garlic. Break up clumps and ensure the garlic is evenly distributed.
  • Continue cooking for a few more minutes until the rice is heated through, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking or burning.
  • Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Turn off the heat.

Notes

  • White rice: Use medium- or long-grain rice, such as Jasmine rice. It is ideal to use day-old or leftover rice, but fresh-cooked rice that is not overcooked or too wet will also work.
  • Garlic: If you love a strong garlic taste, feel free to add more or use fried garlic to top it off. You can use less if you want it milder.
