Steps:
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a small glass dish in the microwave. Add the minced garlic and lemon juice to the melted butter and stir to combine. Set aside to allow the flavors to mingle.
- This dish comes together so fast that EVERYTHING needs to be chopped, measured, and ready to add. Chop the onions and scallions then measure out the peas/carrots, ham, rice, and soy sauce. Finally, you should beat the eggs in a small bowl.
- In a large, non-stick skillet, melt the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté until soft - about 4 to 5 minutes. Add the peas and carrots and cook about 3 minutes then add the diced ham or chicken. Cook 1 minute. Push all of the contents of the skillet to one side to keep them from cooking too much. On the empty side of the skillet, add the beaten eggs. Season with a little salt and pepper and scramble until just set. Integrate the eggs with the veggies and move everything back to the edge of the skillet. Quickly add the garlic mixture to the pan and use a spatula to break it up. Cook it about 1 minute or so (longer if you do not want an intense, in-your-face garlic bite). If you are worried about the strong flavor of garlic, you can add the same amount of garlic but add it with the peas and carrots. This will give the garlic ample time to mellow and sweeten by the name everything is cooked.
- Add the cold, cooked rice and mix it in with the other ingredients. Add the soy sauce and stir to combine. Stir it every 30 seconds for about 2 minutes. Add the scallions and stir. Taste for seasoning and add salt, pepper, and/or additional soy sauce, if desired. Stir one last time and transfer everything to a serving bowl.
THE GARLICKIEST FRIED RICE
Fried garlic boasts an incredible ease-to-"wow" ratio-put slices of garlic in cold oil, crank the heat, and fish them out when they're bronzed. But also the oil that's left behind is a flavor-packed product all its own, just waiting to be whisked into sauces or turned into a cooking medium for the most aromatic fried rice that ever was.

Steps:
- 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 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.
- Do Ahead
- Garlic chips can be made 1 day ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.

GARLIC RICE

Steps:
- Peel garlic, then use a Microplane to grate cloves into a small bowl. Set aside. In a medium pot over medium-high heat, add oil and butter. Heat until butter is melted and frothy, 1-2 minutes, then add garlic and stir until fragrant and lightly golden, 1-2 minutes. Add rice and stir so each individual grain is coated in the butter and oil. Scrape down the sides of the pot and toast rice, 30 seconds.
- Add water and salt and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer. Cover the pot with foil to prevent any steam from escaping, then place a lid over the foil and simmer, 20 minutes. Remove pot from heat and allow rice to continue steaming, covered, 10 minutes.
- Taste the rice. If rice is undercooked, drizzle 2-3 tablespoons water on top, but don't stir it in; cover the pot again and simmer on lowest heat, 5-10 minutes. Fluff the rice in the pot with a wooden spoon and serve.
- When serving, leave rice that sticks to bottom of the pot. Turn the heat to high and let the oil fry the rice till crispy, 5 minutes. (This is a special chef's snack called concolon!)

Steps:
- Bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Refrigerator 8 hours to overnight.
- Melt butter in a large frying pan or wok over low heat. Add onion and garlic; cook until onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Add bacon and frozen vegetables; fry until bacon is cooked through, 7 to 10 minutes.

- Use day-old rice: Freshly cooked rice is too moist and sticky for fried rice. Cooking rice a day ahead of time allows it to dry out slightly, making it easier to separate the grains.
- Cook the rice properly: When cooking rice for fried rice, use less water than you normally would. This will result in rice that is slightly undercooked and firm, which is ideal for frying.
- Use a well-seasoned wok or large skillet: A well-seasoned wok or large skillet will help to prevent the rice from sticking. If you don't have a wok or skillet, you can use a large nonstick skillet.
- Heat the oil until it is shimmering: Before adding the ingredients to the wok or skillet, make sure the oil is shimmering. This will help to prevent the ingredients from sticking.
- Stir-fry the ingredients quickly and continuously: Stir-frying the ingredients quickly and continuously will help to prevent them from overcooking.
- Add the soy sauce and other seasonings gradually: Start by adding a small amount of soy sauce and other seasonings, and then taste the fried rice. Add more seasonings as needed.
- Serve the fried rice immediately: Fried rice is best served immediately after it is cooked. If you need to store the fried rice, let it cool completely before storing it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The fried rice can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
