- 6 cups cooked long-grain rice preferably day-old from the fridge
- 3 tablespoons oil
- 1 head garlic finely minced
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce or seasoning adjust as needed
- salt to taste
Break and loosen the grains of your day-old rice using your hand/s. It is easier if the rice is cold from the fridge.
6 cups cooked long-grain rice
In a skillet or wok, turn the heat to medium-low, add the oil followed by the garlic while oil is not hot yet.
3 tablespoons oil, 1 head garlic
Cook garlic until limp and aromatic and starts to turn brown. Do not let it get too brown and crispy or it might taste bitter or burnt. Take about ¼ of the fried garlic and set it aside.
Add the loosened rice and mix until well blended. Season it with seasoning and salt. Continue to cook while regularly mixing for 3-5 minutes or until rice is no longer moist and sticky and can be easily tossed.
1 teaspoon soy sauce or seasoning, salt
Transfer to a serving dish and top with the reserved toasted garlic.
