Cooking tips
- Do not use seasoned garlic as-is—moisture can cause oil to splatter violently. Always pat dry with a kitchen towel first.
- Always pour soy sauce directly into the garlic oil, not along the edge of the pan, to achieve deep umami and authentic smokiness.
- Turn off the heat when adding rice to prevent garlic from burning and allow the grains to loosen easily.
- Adding butter at the beginning makes it prone to burning. Add it only at the end to preserve its rich flavor without scorching.
Recommended for
- People who want to quickly make a satisfying meal using leftover rice and garlic.
- Those who enjoy the savory, rich combination of butter and soy sauce.
- Anyone wanting to try a unique fried rice that’s full of flavor without eggs or ham.
