Garlic Fried Rice - Filipino Style

Created by Linky on March 31, 2025

4 cups white rice, cooked, preferably long-grain, but any variety will do (24 ounces; 700 g)

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.
