The Garlickiest Fried Rice

This aromatic garlic fried rice is a celebration of bold, savoury flavours and satisfying textures. By infusing the cooking oil with thinly sliced garlic until crisp, you create a fragrant base that permeates every grain of rice. The addition of fresh ginger, toasted sesame oil, and plenty of spring onions provides a bright contrast to the rich, golden garlic chips that top the dish. It is a simple yet sophisticated way to transform leftovers into a standout vegetarian meal.

Perfect as a quick midweek supper or a side dish for a larger Asian-inspired feast, this recipe relies on using chilled, pre-cooked short-grain rice to achieve the best results. The cooling process allows the grains to firm up, ensuring they crisp beautifully in the frying pan rather than becoming soft. Finished with a flourish of fresh coriander and toasted sesame seeds, it is a nutritious and comforting bowl that garlic lovers will return to again and again.

Ingredients for The Garlickiest Fried Rice

  • 8 garlic cloves, thinly sliced

  • 80ml grapeseed or vegetable oil

  • Koshersalt

  • 1 (2") piece ginger, peeled, finely chopped

  • 1 large egg, beaten to blend

  • 550g chilled cooked short-grain rice

  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil

  • 4 spring onions, thinly sliced on a diagonal

  • 3/4 cup coarsely chopped coriander

  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds

Toss garlic and grapeseed 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 (oil should stop bubbling at this point), about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer garlic chips to paper towels 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 (this will take a matter of seconds). 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 spring onions and half of garlic chips; season with salt.

Transfer fried rice to a platter and scatter coriander, sesame seeds, and remaining garlic chips on top.

Garlic chips can be made 1 day ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.
