A LITTLE KITCHEN KNOW-HOW
Garlic Oil Infusion
Slowly frying garlic in cool oil extracts flavor into the fat, which coats every grain of rice when stir-fried.
Notes from the kitchen
- Using chilled day-old rice prevents the grains from sticking together and turning mushy during stir-frying.
- Toast garlic slowly on low heat so it becomes crunchy without scorching or turning bitter.
- Original home-cooking adaptation inspired by Filipino; regional versions vary.
- Use halal-certified meat, poultry, stock, sauces, cheese and other processed ingredients. Check labels and avoid cross-contamination. Recipe screening is not halal certification.
