GARLIC FRIED RICE

I love a good simple fried rice like those garlic fried rice you eat at Japanese/Korean eateries. I just had to remake my own at home and it’s so quick and easy to make for your weekday dinners. Have it with a side of sliced grilled beef or chicken for a complete meal.

INGREDIENTS

  • 3 cups of day-old cooked white rice (I use Jasmine rice)
  • 50g of butter
  • 4 tablespoons of sesame oil
  • 3-4 tablespoons of minced garlic
  • 1/4 cup of oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon of soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup (or more) of chopped spring onion
  • Salt and sugar to taste
  • Crispy garlic chips (optional topping)

HOW TO MAKE IT

  1. Cook 3 cups of white rice in a rice cooker and keep it overnight. You can also pre-cook the rice on the same day.
  2. In a pan, melt your butter, add in sesame oil and sautee your minced garlic until garlic is slightly brown on the edges.
  3. Add in your oyster sauce and soy sauce and stir-fry well. Season with salt and sugar accordingly.
  4. Toss in cooked rice. Mix well until rice is well-coated.
  5. Add in chopped spring onion and mix well.
  6. Serve immediately, topped with crispy garlic chips and more chopped spring onions (optional)

Tip: To make crispy garlic chips, thinly slice each garlic clove of a whole bulb of garlic and coat lightly with corn flour. Fry in hot oil until golden and crispy. Dry and cool on a paper towel before storing in an airtight jar or for immediate usage.
