Step by Step Method
Step 1
Heat oil over medium heat until shimmering, in a small saucepan. Add garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until garlic softens, becomes very aromatic, and turns lightly golden, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Do not brown!
Step 2
Strain oil through a fine-mesh strainer directly into a wok or equivalent pan; reserve cooked garlic and set aside.
Step 3
Heat wok over high heat until oil is shimmering. Add rice, breaking up larger clumps and tossing to coat with garlic-flavored oil.
Step 4
Cook, stirring and tossing frequently, until no clumps of rice remain and rice is warmed through, about 4 minutes.
Step 5
Add reserved garlic to rice and toss to combine.
Step 6
Serve immediately.
