Equipment

  • Wok or wide pan

Ingredients

  • 6 cups cooked white rice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (or any neutral oil)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 head garlic minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Break up the rice with a fork. If using fresh rice, spread it out and let it cool first.
  • Heat oil and butter in a wok or large pan over medium heat. Add the garlic.
  • Cook until fragrant and lightly browned, about 1 minute. Keep an eye on it — it can burn quickly.
  • Add the rice and toss with the garlic. Break up any clumps.
  • Cook for a few minutes until heated through. Season with salt and pepper. Turn off the heat.

Notes

  • White rice: Use medium or long-grain rice. Day-old rice works best, but fresh rice is fine if it isn’t too soft or wet.
  • Garlic: Add more if you love garlic, or use less if you want it milder.
