👨🍳 Cooking Steps
1
Melt butter in a pan and saute sliced garlic until golden brown and fragrant.
💡 Tip: Saute over low heat to prevent garlic and butter from burning.
2
Push sauteed garlic to one side, pour soy sauce on the empty space, and let it bubble to create a smoky aroma.
3
Add rice to the pan and mix thoroughly until evenly coated and hot.
🌟 Pro Chef Tips
- • Use cold or cooled rice for a firmer, non-sticky texture.
⚠️ Avoid Common Pitfalls
- ❌ Sauteing garlic over high heat burns both garlic and butter, introducing a bitter taste.
🧊 Storage & Reheating Advice
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, warm over low heat in a skillet with a tiny dab of fresh butter to restore full aroma.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Can I use minced garlic instead?
