Instructions

Step 1

In a large pan or wok, heat neutral oil over medium high heat and add chopped garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the garlic has turned golden brown and remove, leaving the garlic-infused oil in the pan.

Step 2

Add scallions and sauté for 15-30 seconds until fragrant. Turn the heat to high, then add the day old long grain white rice and mix thoroughly until the grains are separated and relatively dry (about 3-4 minutes depending on the heat of your stove).

Step 3

Season with kosher salt, white pepper, sugar, msg, and light soy sauce. Mix to combine.

Step 4

Add back the reserved fried garlic and mix. Garnish with additional chopped scallions and fried garlic and enjoy!
