Ingredients:

  • 3 tbsp neutral oil
  • 12 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 4 cups cooked jasmine rice, chilled overnight
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp white pepper
  • 2 tbsp green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil

Instructions:

  1. Place a wok over medium heat and add 3 tbsp neutral oil.
  2. Once the oil shimmers, add 12 cloves of minced garlic and stir constantly for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and nutty.
  3. Increase the heat to medium-high and add 4 cups of chilled cooked jasmine rice to the pan.
  4. Using a spatula, gently break up any large clumps and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until the rice is thoroughly coated in oil and the grains begin to jump slightly.
  5. Sprinkle 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp white pepper evenly over the rice.
  6. Fold in 2 tbsp sliced green onions and drizzle with 1 tsp toasted sesame oil.
  7. Toss for 30 seconds to incorporate the flavors, then remove from heat immediately.
