Garlic Fried Rice Recipe

Chinese · Main course · 20 min total

A simple and flavorful Chinese-style fried rice with crispy garlic bits, perfect as a side or a quick main dish.

Ingredients

• 3 cups cooked jasmine rice, preferably day-old
• 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 6 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 1/2 cup frozen peas and carrots, thawed
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
• 2 green onions, sliced

Instructions

1. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and stir-fry until golden and crispy, about 30 seconds. Remove garlic with a slotted spoon and set aside.
2. Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the pan. Pour in beaten eggs and scramble until just set, about 30 seconds.
3. Add rice, breaking up any clumps. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until rice is heated through.
4. Add peas and carrots, soy sauce, sesame oil, and white pepper. Stir-fry for another 2 minutes.
5. Fold in half of the crispy garlic and green onions. Serve garnished with remaining garlic.

Tips

• Use cold, day-old rice for best texture; fresh rice can become mushy.
• For extra flavor, add a dash of oyster sauce or chili oil.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
