Step 1

Prepare the rice: Add the cooked, cold rice to a large mixing bowl. Use your hands to fluff the grains to break apart and loosen them up. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon salt all over the rice. Mix well with a spoon and set aside.

Step 2

Stir fry: Place a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the oil. Once hot, add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute until crisp and light golden brown but not burnt. Add the rice. Using a spatula or cooking spoon, stir thoroughly to mix the garlic and oil into the grains. This should take about 2 minutes. SIMPLE TIP! Lower the heat to medium if the skillet gets too hot. You’ll know it's too hot if the rice is sticking to the pan—you do not want the rice to burn. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and the white pepper all over the rice. Stir the rice well for seasonings to blend, about 1 to 2 minutes.

Step 3

Serve: Garnish with green onion or chives, if desired. Serve warm as an accompaniment to breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Keep leftover garlic fried rice in a covered container, refrigerated. It will last for up to 2 days. Sinangag na kanin does not freeze well as it tends to get soggy.
