Japanese Garlic Fried Rice

Try rice the way the Japanese love it. Garlic rice is a fun new way to cook a grain we all know—it's a Japanese dish, and the best part is that the ingredients are easy to find. Cook the rice ahead of time for this, even up to two days in advance; chill it, covered, in the fridge. Don't use freshly cooked rice—it's too moist. Japanese rice is ideal, of course, but jasmine or basmati works too.

    1. Rinse the rice a couple of times in clean water, put it in a pot, cover with water, and set it over the heat—don't forget to salt it. Cook until done, let it cool, then cover and refrigerate. Leave it for 2 days. 2. Peel the garlic and grate it on the fine holes. Pour half the vegetable oil into a heavy-bottomed pan, set it over the heat, and add the grated garlic. Cook over medium heat until the garlic turns golden. 3. Let the oil cool, then strain it through a sieve—it now has a strong garlic aroma. 4. In a separate bowl, combine the soy sauce, mirin, sesame oil, oyster sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and sugar, and stir. 5. Pour the rest of the vegetable oil into the pan and set it over the heat. Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them smooth with a whisk. 6. Once the oil is hot, pour in the beaten eggs and stir quickly so they break into small pieces. 7. Add the cold cooked rice, drizzle on the garlic oil, and stir-fry—the rice should fry up well and stay loose and separate. 8. Pour the sauce over the rice, stir, and cook a couple of minutes more. Now it's ready to serve. Rinse and finely chop the green onions and scatter them over the dish just before serving. You can also round it out with fried chicken, fresh vegetables, or any herbs you like. Enjoy!
