Recipe

Coarsely mince 15–20 cloves of garlic, leaving a bit of texture.
Place 5 tbsp cooking oil and the minced garlic in a cold pan (do not heat the pan first).
Turn the heat to medium and slowly fry the garlic until the oil is fully infused with garlic aroma and the garlic turns golden.
Add 5 cups of cold rice and break up any clumps with a spatula, stir-frying until every grain is coated with the garlic oil.
Add 1 tsp salt (and a pinch of MSG if desired), mix well, then turn off the heat and serve.

In a cold pan, add cooking oil and minced garlic, then fry over medium heat until golden.
Add cold rice, break up the grains, and stir-fry well in the garlic oil.
Season with salt and MSG, then plate and serve.

Cooking tips

Instead of a preheated pan, start stir-frying the garlic in a cold pan to prevent burning and gently infuse the garlic oil.
For fluffy fried rice, use cold rice from the refrigerator or long-grain rice (Annam rice; jasmine/basmati) rather than warm rice.
