Quick Garlic Fried Rice in 20 Minutes

Instructions:

1. Mince the garlic finely and break up the chilled rice by hand to remove clumps.
2. Heat neutral oil over medium-low heat. Add minced garlic and sauté slowly until the color transitions to pale gold and becomes fragrant. Remove one tablespoon of the golden garlic bits and set aside for garnish.
3. Increase heat to medium-high. Add the chilled rice to the garlic-infused oil and toss vigorously for 3-5 minutes until the grains are searing. Stir in salt, pepper, and soy sauce until evenly mahogany-colored.
4. Push the rice to the sides of the pan to create a well in the center. Pour in the beaten eggs and let them set for 30 seconds, then scramble quickly. Once eggs are 80% cooked, fold them into the rice.
5. Turn off the heat, stir in the sliced green onions, and garnish with the reserved golden garlic and toasted sesame seeds.
