A better than takeout fried rice that is packed with garlicky goodness. Easy to make, delicious and loaded with garlic.

For the garlic chips:
- 1/4 cup neutral oil

- 1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp butter
For serving:
- Sliced Scallions
- Garlic Chips
Instructions
Make the Garlic Chips:
- Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a skillet.
- When it’s hot, add in the sliced garlic.
- Cook for about 4-5 minutes, tossing occasionally, until golden.
- Drain on paper towel and sprinkle with salt. Set aside.
Make the rice:
- Add the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add in the garlic. Cook for 2 minutes.
- Add in the rice, increase heat to med-high. Stir well.
- Add in the sesame oil, soy sauce and butter. Season with salt and pepper.
- Stir well and then allow to cook in a single layer for 2-3 minutes until the rice crisps up a little on the bottom. Stir.
Serve with sliced scallions, garlic chips and sesame seeds.
