Total time
Serves: 3-5
Ingredients
- 2-3 tablespoons cooking oil
- 6-8 garlic cloves, peeled, crushed and minced
- 3-4 cups leftover rice
- sea salt to taste
- 1 teaspoon of fried minced garlic (for garnish) (optional) or
- pinch of sliced green onions (for garnish) (optional)
Instructions

- Heat a medium pan over medium heat.
- Add oil and once hot enough, add garlic and fry until golden brown.
- Add rice and further break them apart using your ladle. Sprinkle some water if the rice won’t separate.
- Season with sea salt to taste.
- Once everything is thoroughly mixed and seasoned, turn off heat and transfer to a serving plate.
- Garnish and serve hot.
Notes
You can use other kinds of rice for a healthier option.
For those who are more into comfort food, you can use coconut oil (refined for no coconut taste, unrefined for a coconut taste).
Leftover or day old rice is preferred but if you don't have leftover rice, simply cook a new batch, fluff with a fork, and let it cool before breaking them apart with your hands.
If you're eating this by itself, you may add soy sauce and vegetables like broccoli, carrots, young corn, etc.
