Ingredients:
- 3 cups cooked rice (preferably day-old)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: sesame seeds and additional chopped green onions for garnish
- Prepare the Rice: If you don't have day-old rice, cook fresh rice and spread it out on a baking sheet to cool and dry out slightly. This helps achieve the best texture for fried rice.
- Cook the Eggs: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the beaten eggs and scramble until fully cooked. Remove the eggs from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté the Garlic: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden.
- Fry the Rice: Add the cooked rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps with a spatula. Stir-fry the rice with the garlic, ensuring it gets well-coated with the garlic oil. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, allowing the rice to become slightly crispy.
- Add Soy Sauce and Eggs: Drizzle the soy sauce over the rice and stir well to combine. Add the cooked eggs back to the skillet and mix them into the rice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add Green Onions: Stir in the chopped green onions and cook for another minute until they are just wilted.
- Serve: Transfer the garlic fried rice to a serving dish and garnish with sesame seeds and additional chopped green onions, if desired.
