Ingredients
- 4 tablespoon sesame oil
- 8 tablespoon avocado oil
- 2 teaspoon garlic paste (see notes)
- 6 cups cooked jasmine rice (see notes)
- ¼ cup low sodium soy sauce (see notes)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt (see notes)
- ¼ cup green onions (see notes)
Instructions
- Add both cooking oils to your pan and heat for a few seconds.
- Add the garlic paste and saute for about 30 seconds.
- Add the cooked rice and saute to mix the garlic.
- Add the soy sauce, salt, and pepper and continue to fry the rice (see notes)
- Add the finely chopped green onions last and mix them in.
- Plate and serve while the rice is still hot!
Notes
- Garlic - I always use freshly minced garlic and add a generous amount, usually two rounded teaspoons. Since it's the key flavor we're going for, we want to be able to taste it. When you're seasoning rice, you have to go a little bold for the flavors to shine through.
- Rice - I like to use Jasmine rice in this recipe. I usually cook, cool, and store it in the fridge the night before. It clumps a little this way, but I break it apart with my hands.
- If you haven't had a chance to prep your rice in advance, cook the rice, spread it on a baking sheet, and place it in front of a fan for 30 minutes or so to help it dry out.
- Or, if you don't want to spend so much time, buy pre-cooked rice from the supermarket, open the packet, and instead of heating it, add it straight to the frying pan and follow the recipe.
- Soy sauce - I prefer low-sodium soy sauce and add extra salt as needed. I have more control over the final appearance and taste of the rice this way.
- Salt - I start with ½ a teaspoon and add more if needed. It's best to start with a smaller amount and add more as needed.
- Green onions - The green onions add color and flavor to the rice. They don't need to be cooked much, so I toss them in at the end.
- Frying the rice - The best way to fry the rice is on high heat. Stir constantly and mix everything in well as quickly as you can to prevent the rice from getting mushy.
