Equipment

Large skillet

Ingredients

½ cup oil avocado, vegetable, canola
2 heads garlic roughly chopped
4 green onions sliced, whites and dark green separated
4 cups cold cooked rice
2 tablespoons soy sauce low sodium
1 teaspoon garlic powder or more
1 teaspoon onion powder or more

Instructions

Add the oil and garlic to a cold skillet over medium heat.
Fry the garlic until golden, around 5 minutes, stirring it occassionally.
Strain the fried garlic from the oil and set aside.
Set aside half the infused oil for another recipe. Add the white parts of the scallion to the oil and saute for 1 to 2 minutes.
Turn the heat up to high and add the cold rice to the skillet, making sure the rice is spread across the skillet so it can absorb the garlic oil evenly.
Add the soy sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder and toss to combine.
Add the fried garlic back to the rice and toss to combine. Finish off by garnishing with the rest of the green onions.
