One-Pot Garlic Rice

By Chef B. Boukim

Prep: 5 min · Cook: 25 min · Total: 30 min · Serves 4

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups Long-grain white rice, rinsed
• 8 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves, thinly sliced
• 2 1/2 cups Vegetable broth
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tbsp Butter (or vegan butter)
• 1 tsp Soy sauce
• 3 tbsp Fresh scallions, sliced
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 1/4 tsp Black pepper

Instructions

1. Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then drain well.
2. Heat olive oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and fry until golden and crispy, about 2 minutes. Remove and set aside for garnish.
3. In the same pot, add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Add the rinsed rice and toast for 1 minute, stirring to coat each grain in the garlic oil.
5. Pour in the vegetable broth, soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18 minutes.
6. Remove from heat and let rest covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork, fold in butter and scallions, and top with the crispy garlic slices.
