🌿 Cilantro Garlic Fried Rice

🕒 Prep Time: 10 mins

🔥 Cook Time: 15 mins

🍽️ Serves: 2–3


---

🧂 Ingredients:

2 cups cooked rice (preferably cold, day-old rice works best)

1 tablespoon oil (vegetable, canola, or sesame oil)

1 tablespoon butter (optional for richness)

6–8 cloves garlic, finely chopped

1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon chili flakes (optional, for heat)

1/2 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped (plus more for garnish)

1 tablespoon soy sauce (optional, for umami)

Juice of 1/2 lime (optional, adds brightness)

🔪 Instructions:

1. Prep the rice:
Break up any clumps in your cooked rice so it’s loose and easier to fry evenly.


2. Sauté garlic:
Heat oil and butter (if using) in a large pan or wok over medium heat. Add chopped garlic and sauté until golden brown and fragrant, about 1–2 minutes. Be careful not to burn it.


3. Add rice:
Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the rice and stir-fry, mixing well so the garlic is evenly distributed.


4. Season:
Add salt, pepper, chili flakes, and soy sauce (if using). Stir everything together and fry for 2–3 minutes, until the rice is heated through and slightly crispy in spots.


5. Add cilantro:
Stir in the chopped cilantro and toss well to combine. Cook for another 1 minute, just enough to wilt the herbs slightly while keeping their fresh flavor.


6. Finish:
Squeeze in lime juice (if using), taste, and adjust seasoning.


7. Serve hot with more chopped cilantro on top. Optional: top with a fried egg, avocado, or grilled shrimp.

📝 Tips:

Add-ins: Diced onions, scallions, or scrambled egg can add variety.

Rice tip: Long grain rice (like jasmine or basmati) works best for fried rice due to its texture.

Vegan-friendly? Skip butter and make it with oil only.
