Recipe

Add 3 raw eggs to 1 bowl of cold rice and mix thoroughly until the egg liquid is evenly distributed throughout the rice grains.
Heat a wok or frying pan, then add 20g of butter and melt it gently.
Add 1 tablespoon of minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté over high heat, being careful not to burn it, until the aroma fills the air.
Once the garlic scent has infused the butter, add all the egg-rice mixture and stir using a spatula, cutting through the rice to separate the grains while frying over high heat.
Continue stirring and frying until the rice grains lose moisture, become loose, and feel fluffy and dry.
When the rice is well-fried, pour 1 tablespoon of soy sauce around the edge of the pan and quickly mix it into the rice to infuse the dish with a rich soy aroma.
Toss everything together, check the seasoning, and if needed, add a pinch or two of salt substitute to adjust to your preferred taste before finishing.

Mix 3 raw eggs into the rice until evenly combined to create the base for the egg fried rice.
Melt butter in a pan and lightly sauté minced garlic without burning to bring out its aroma.
Add the egg-rice and stir-fry until fluffy, then finish by drizzling 1 tablespoon of soy sauce around the edge to enhance the flavor.

Cooking tips

Butter and minced garlic can easily burn, so monitor the heat carefully and add the rice promptly before the garlic turns brown.
When adding soy sauce, let it run down the side of the pan and sizzle slightly to develop a deeper, more complex flavor reminiscent of Chinese-style smoky notes.
Since this dish offers a unique taste profile, consider topping it with garlic chips or fresh parsley flakes after cooking for added texture and freshness.
