Steps:
- In a medium saucepan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until the oil begins to shimmer. Line a plate with paper towels and set it nearby.
- Carefully pour the garlic into the hot oil and stir continuously until the garlic is just beginning to lightly brown. Remove the pan from the heat and use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried garlic onto the paper towel-lined plate; reserve the oil. Set both the garlic and the oil aside while you make the rice. (You can store the garlic chips and oil in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to a week.)
- Fluff the hot rice with a fork and toss it with 1/4 cup (60 ml) of the garlic oil and 1/2 cup (40 g) of the fried garlic chips. (You will have leftover oil and chips for more rice; or try them on the pansits and soups.)
- Season the rice with salt and serve right away or at room temperature, with the eggs, if desired.

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.
BACON GARLIC FRIED RICE
This is the fried rice I grew up with. I was never sure if it was just a Filipino recipe or an adaptation my mother made being in the South (US) but all I know is I've never met anyone that didn't like this fried rice and people always beg me for the recipe. The prep time below assumes you already have left over rice in the fridge, but there's instructions for cooling your cooked rice too.

Steps:
- Slice the bacon slices cross ways into small slivers. This works well if you keep your bacon frozen. Thaw enough to slice and then just slice off your pieces of bacon across so you have a bunch of thin strips. Fry the slivers of bacon in a large wok or pan and then remove the bacon to drain on a paper towel. Reserve some of the bacon fat, about 2-4 tbsp, or use vegetable oil, or use a mixture.
- Lightly fry the garlic in the bacon fat/oil in the same pan you fried the bacon. Don't let the garlic get brown. Add the cold rice and the peas and carrots and let it all warm at high temperature and break up the big pieces of rice. It's ok for there to be some clumps of rice remaining. It is important your rice is cold when you start or the fried rice will get gluey and mushy. Day old rice is best, but if you want to make your rice fresh and then fry it, cook the rice and put in a flat baking pan in the freezer to cool for 30-60 minutes first.
- After about 5 minutes, or once the rice is heated through make a well in the center of your rice. Add your eggs and stir them slightly. I like to cook the egg most of the way through in the well, and then slowly bring in the remaining rice which gives some eggy chunks as well as a light coating of egg on some of the rice. Another option is to lightly fry the scrambled egg separately first and then add it to the fried rice.
- The last step is to add the soy sauce, crumble bacon pieces over, mix, taste and add salt if desired.
- This fried rice is surprisingly simple, but really awesome. I always use the frozen peas/carrots, but other veggies can work. Never use canned veggies, and ones that release water (like tomatoes, mushrooms, zucchini, squash) can be tricky, because your rice can get mushy. Fresh carrots, broccoli, snap peas, bell pepper, frozen/fresh corn have been tried and all work.

Steps:
- Remove all leaves and cut the cauliflower into small florets.

- Spread the rice towards the edge of the pan, creating a well in the center.

- Fold the eggs into the rice, then mix in the green onions

HONEY GARLIC CHICKEN FRIED RICE RECIPE - (5/5)
Provided by nancyjcanzi
Number Of Ingredients 12
Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large wok or deep nonstick skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, soy sauce, garlic and ginger; stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes or until browned. Add the mixed vegetables and edamame; stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes or until tender. Meanwhile, combine the Diana sauce with the water and lime juice. Add to the skillet and bring to a boil. Stir in the rice; cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and rice is hot and coated with sauce. Just before serving, stir in the green onion and sesame oil. Tip(s): 1. Edamame are green soybeans that can be found already shelled in many supermarket freezer sections. 2. For fresh crunch, stir in a handful of bean sprouts when adding the green onion. 3. Substitute cubed pork loin for the chicken. 4. Substitute shrimp or cubed, firm tofu for the chicken; simply add along with the vegetables and edamame. 5. Prepare rice ahead; freeze in zip-top (re-sealable) bags until ready to use. 6. To reduce the salt content of this recipe, use lite or sodium-reduced soy sauce.
TURKEY SILOG (GARLIC FRIED RICE WITH EGGS)
Silog, rice bathed in lots of garlic and crowned with a runny egg, is a hearty and essential part of any Filipino breakfast, and it comes together very quickly. For Chad and Chase Valencia, brothers and owners of the Filipino restaurant Lasa, in Los Angeles, the best time to make silog is the morning after Thanksgiving, when they top it with seared leftover turkey (or ham), and gravy to moisten the bits of rice. You're going to have to plan ahead for this recipe, as it's best made with day-old rice; freshly made rice won't get as crisp in the pan. And don't be intimidated by the amount of garlic here - it all mellows out, while still providing a potent punch. Chad notes that this dish will work in almost any nonstick pan, except for a steel or aluminum-bottomed pan; you could even use a well-seasoned cast-iron pan or wok.

Steps:
- Make the garlic fried rice: Heat a large nonstick pan (preferably 10 inches) over a medium-low flame, then add 6 tablespoons of the oil and garlic cloves. Season the cloves with a pinch of salt. Cook, turning the cloves occasionally, until they are brown and soft, 12 to 14 minutes.
- Remove half the oil and half the garlic cloves from the pan and set aside in a small heat-proof bowl. Using a rubber spatula or the back of a wooden spoon, smash the remaining garlic in the pan to an almost rough paste. Before the smashed garlic turns golden, crank up the heat, add half the rice and spread to cover the surface of the pan. It will pop and sizzle - that's good. Let sit for 30 seconds, then toss and mix the rice in the pan. Spread the rice out, then let sit again for another 30 seconds. Adjust the salt and transfer to a large plate. Lightly cover the plate with foil.
- Wipe out the pan, add the reserved garlic cloves and their oil and repeat with remaining rice.
- If using turkey and gravy, warm the gravy in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until it's hot.
- Meanwhile, reheat the turkey (or ham): Wipe out the pan, return it to medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of oil. When the oil starts to smoke slightly, gently lay the meat in pan and sear until golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. (You may need to do this in batches, adding oil as needed.) Transfer to a plate and season with salt to taste. Cover with foil and wipe out the pan.
- Return the pan to medium-low heat and add 1 tablespoon of oil. Break eggs into pan and cook just until egg whites are fully set but the yolks are still runny. Season with salt to taste.
- To serve, place a few scoops of garlic fried rice on each plate. Layer seared turkey or ham slices on top of the rice. If you're using turkey, sauce the meat with a few spoonfuls of gravy. Top each serving with a fried egg.

LEMON GARLIC FRIED RICE AND BEANS
Steps:
- Melt butter in a skillet over high heat, make sure it doesn't burn. Stir-fry rice and beans for 30 seconds then add garlic. Stir frequently allowing for around 30 seconds in between stirs to get some crispy rice on the bottom of the pan but make sure it doesn't burn. Add a 1/2 teaspoon of salt. After around 3-4 minutes add the egg, immediately take off the heat and stir until everything is combined and the egg looks just barely moist (if you wait till the egg is completely cooked it will be overcooked by the time it hits the plate). Stir in lemon to taste and remove onto a plate. Season with paprika and salt to taste. I like to add an additional sprinkling of cayenne because I like a little more heat.

Tips:
- Use day-old rice: Day-old rice is less moist and sticky, which makes it easier to fry and prevents it from clumping together.
- Rinse the rice: Rinsing the rice removes the starch, which also helps to prevent clumping.
- Use a well-seasoned wok: A well-seasoned wok will help to prevent the rice from sticking.
- Heat the wok over high heat: The wok should be very hot before adding the oil and rice.
- Add the rice in small batches: Do not overcrowd the wok, or the rice will not fry evenly.
- Stir the rice constantly: Stirring the rice constantly will help to prevent it from burning.
- Add the vegetables and other ingredients at the end: The vegetables and other ingredients should be added towards the end of the cooking time, so that they do not overcook.
- Season the rice to taste: Season the rice with soy sauce, salt, and pepper to taste.
Conclusion:
Garlic fried rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover rice, and it can be made with a variety of vegetables and other ingredients. With a little practice, you can make perfect garlic fried rice at home.
