Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups cooked white rice (preferably day-old)
- 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 2 tablespoons chili oil (homemade or store-bought)
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil (vegetable or canola)
- Optional toppings: green onions, sesame seeds, fried eggs
Instructions
- Mince the garlic cloves finely and set aside. Prepare homemade chili oil if needed by heating oil and combining it with chili flakes, garlic, and soy sauce.
- Heat a non-stick pan or wok over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil.
- Add the minced garlic to the hot oil and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden, being careful not to burn it.
- Crumble the cooked rice with your hands to remove clumps, then add it to the pan. Stir well to coat the rice evenly with garlic and oil.
- Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the rice and stir again. Drizzle chili oil generously over the rice and toss everything together until evenly coated.
- Let the rice fry for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly crispy and golden in spots.
- Add another drizzle of chili oil for extra flavor and toss again.
- Transfer the rice to a serving dish and garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, or a fried egg, if desired.
Notes
[‘Use day-old rice for better texture.’, ‘Adjust the spice level by adding more or less chili oil.’, ‘Toast the rice undisturbed for crispy bits.’, ‘Prepare garlic and chili oil ahead of time to save cooking time.’]
