Ingredients

  • 7 large cloves garlic, divided
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
  • 2 cups day old long grain white rice
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • 3 green onions, thinly sliced, green and whites separated
  • ½ cup cilantro leaves, divided

Instructions

  • Thinly slice 4 of the cloves of garlic. In a medium saucepan add the oil and the slices of garlic. Heat over medium-low heat and fry, stirring frequently until it’s pale brown and crispy, about 1 minute. Use a slotted spoon to remove the garlic to a paper towel lined plate to drain. Remove the oil from the heat and reserve it.
  • Chop the remaining cloves of garlic and set aside. Add ¼ cup of the garlic oil to a wok or large cast iron pan then add the garlic and ginger to the pan and heat over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Crack the eggs into the pan and stir them to scramble them until they set, about 1 minute.
  • Add the sesame oil followed by the rice. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the rice is dried out a bit, about 3 minutes.
  • Stir in the soy sauce, sesame seeds, the whites of the green onions and ½ the cilantro.
  • Serve the rice immediately topped with the remaining green onions and cilantro.
