Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Mince the 6 garlic cloves. Heat 3 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

  2. Step 2

    Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove half the garlic with a slotted spoon and set aside.

  3. Step 3

    Add the 3 cups cooked rice to the skillet with the remaining garlic and oil. Spread it out and let it crisp for 2 minutes without stirring.

  4. Step 4

    Stir-fry the rice for 3-4 minutes, breaking up clumps, until heated through and slightly toasted. Season with 1/2 tsp salt.

  5. Step 5

    Serve the rice topped with the reserved crispy garlic.
