5-Minute Cook! Rich Flavor Irish Premium Butter Garlic Fried Rice
What do you prepare for your children’s breakfast when they have to go to school or kindergarten in the busy morning? Fried rice is an excellent simple yet satisfying meal! Especially for weekend mornings, here’s a recipe for a delicious fried rice you can easily make for your kids after sleeping in. The rich flavor of Irish premium butter combined with the fragrant garlic creates a wonderful meal.
Ingredients- 1 piece of premium butter (approx. 15g)
- 4 cloves fresh garlic
- 1 bowl of warm rice (approx. 200g)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
The key to this recipe is to properly infuse the butter with the flavor of garlic. While 4 cloves of garlic are standard, you can add one or two more if you prefer a deeper, nuttier garlic flavor.
Step 2
If you want to fully experience the rich taste of butter, slice it a bit thickly. Slice the garlic thinly so it becomes more fragrant and crispy when sautéed in butter.
Step 3
Melt the butter in a pan over medium-low heat. Once the butter is fully melted, reduce the heat slightly and add the thinly sliced garlic. Stir-fry carefully to prevent burning.
Step 4
Sauté the garlic until golden brown, allowing the fragrant garlic aroma to fully infuse into the butter. Crispy garlic will enhance the texture and flavor of the fried rice.
Step 5
Raw garlic can be pungent, but when sautéed in butter like this, it miraculously transforms into a nutty and sweet flavor! If your children dislike visible garlic pieces, you can mince them to incorporate the garlic flavor subtly.
Step 6
Once the garlic is beautifully golden, add the warm rice. Use a spatula to mix and break up any clumps, ensuring the rice is evenly coated with the butter and garlic. Stir-frying until each grain of rice is coated is crucial.
Step 7
Using cold rice will result in a fluffier fried rice. If using freshly cooked warm rice, briefly chill it in the freezer before adding to the pan. This will prevent the rice from clumping and create a perfectly textured fried rice.
Step 8
If you’re using unsalted butter of high quality (e.g., Kerrygold), you’ll need to season it. Adding about half a tablespoon of soy sauce or oyster sauce will deepen the flavor and add a savory umami taste, achieving the perfect seasoning.
Step 9
Your delicious garlic butter fried rice is ready! You can call it ‘Garlic Butter Fried Rice’ or ‘Butter Garlic Fried Rice’ to emphasize the generous amount of butter. 🙂 It tastes as good as it sounds!
Step 10
If you want to serve your fried rice more attractively, pack it firmly into a rice bowl, then invert it onto a plate. As the saying goes, ‘food that looks good tastes good,’ and children will likely enjoy this carefully presented fried rice even more.
