Step 1
Mince the 6 garlic cloves. Heat 3 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
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.
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.
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.
Step 5
Serve the rice topped with the reserved crispy garlic.
