Garlicky Rice Recipes

SIMPLE GARLIC RICE

Steps:

• Saute garlic cloves in hot oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat 2-3.
• Add rice, and saute 1 minute.

• Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer 30 minutes. Do not uncover rice until time is up.

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!)

GREEN ONION GARLICKY WILD RICE

Steps:

• Heat a medium saucepan with a lid over medium-high heat. Melt the coconut oil and add the scallion whites, garlic and serrano and cook, stirring frequently, until the garlic and scallions start to brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle in the cumin, lime zest, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Add the rice and stir until all the beads of rice are coated. Add 2 to 3 cups water (according to the package directions) and stir. Bring to a simmer, then cover and reduce the heat to low. Cook until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 45 minutes. Fluff with a fork and serve with a spritz of lime and sliced scallion greens.

GARLIC RICE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the garlic and ground pork. Cook and stir until the garlic is golden brown. This is the color you want for maximum flavor, do not allow it to burn, or the flavor will be bitter.
• Stir in the cooked white rice, and season with garlic salt and pepper. Cook and stir until heated through and well blended, about 3 minutes. Serve and enjoy.

GARLIC FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Combine the rice and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until rice is tender and water is absorbed. Set aside to cool.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until fragrant and lightly browned. Stir in rice and cook until coated and heated through. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice.

THE GARLICKIEST FRIED RICE

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.
