Ingredients
- 8 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 1/3 cup grapeseed or vegetable oil
- Kosher salt
- 2-inch piece ginger, peeled, finely chopped
- 1 large egg, beaten to blend
- 3 cups chilled cooked short-grain rice
- 2 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 4 scallions, thinly sliced on a diagonal
- 3/4 cup coarsely chopped cilantro
- 2 tsp toasted sesame seeds
Directions
-
Toss garlic and oil in a large nonstick skillet. Arrange garlic in a single layer and set over medium heat. Cook, shaking pan often, until garlic is barely golden and crisp, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer garlic chips to paper towel to drain; season with salt.
-
Increase heat to medium-high and cook ginger in oil in the same skillet, stirring occasionally, until just softened and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add egg and stir to break up; cook until just set. Add rice and sesame oil and toss to combine. Cook, undisturbed, pressing down on rice with a spatula so it makes good contact with the pan, until rice begins to crisp, about 2 minutes. Give rice a toss, then press down on it again, cooking until you get more crispy bits, about 2 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and toss in scallions and half of garlic chips; season with salt.
-
Transfer fried rice to a platter and scatter cilantro, sesame seeds and remaining garlic chips on top.
