Ingredients
- 12 cloves garlic chopped
- 3 tbsp oil
- 4 cups day-old cooked rice long grain preferred
- 4 tbsp chopped green onion
- pinches salt and pepper to taste see note below
Instructions
- Heat oil in a wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped garlic and stir-fry until it turns golden brown, being careful not to burn it. If desired, set aside a small amount of fried garlic for garnish.
- Add the rice and stir-fry for a few minutes, breaking up any clumps to separate the grains.
- Add the green onion and continue stirring. Season with salt and pepper, and stir until everything is heated through and well combined.
- Transfer to a serving dish, sprinkle with more green onion and the reserved fried garlic on top. Serve hot.

Notes
- I used only salt to keep the fried rice white in this recipe. For a deeper umami flavor, try adding 1-2 teaspoons of fish sauce or light soy sauce. You can also sprinkle a little MSG for an extra flavor boost.
