Leftover or day-old cooked white riceabout 4-5 cups
5or more cloves of garlic, smashed and roughly chopped
¼ - ½teaspoonsaltadjust to your taste
2tablespoonscanola oil
Ground black pepperoptional
Instructions
Heat a wok or a nonstick pan using medium heat. Drizzle the oil then add the garlic. Keep sautéing until garlic is lightly toasted and fragrant (about 1 minute). Don’t burn the garlic or it’ll be bitter.
Add the rice and mix with the garlic. Season with salt. Keep tossing for a few minutes or until warmed through (about 5 minutes). I use 2 wooden spoons to toss for easier mixing. Sprinkle with a dash of ground black pepper, if using.
