Recipe serving: 4-6
Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
4 cups (650 g) cold white rice
2 tablespoons cooking oil
6-8 cloves garlic, smashed with the side of a knife and peeled
1 teaspoon salt, plus more, to taste
Preparation:
Using a wet rice paddle or wooden spoon, gently break apart any large clumps of rice that may be sticking together. Set the rice aside.
Heat a large wok or sauté pan over high heat until a drop of water sizzles and evaporates on contact. Swirl the oil into the pan and then add the garlic and stir-fry until the garlic begins to lightly brown, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Add the rice to the pan and quickly toss and mix with the garlic and oil, breaking up any remaining clumps of rice with a spatula. Sprinkle in the salt and continue to stir-fry until the rice is coated in oil and lightly toasted, about 5 minutes. Season the rice with additional salt if needed. Serve hot.
It is the most common breakfast items in Philippines, usually garlic fried rice and fried eggs are always paired together as breakfast.
