Garlic Fried Rice (with secret ingredient!) - Japanese Recipe

My garlic fried rice a secret ingredient to it that I thinks makes all the difference! This dish is a simple side dish that's perfect for pairing with simple proteins like grilled meats. In Thailand, many people like to have garlic fried rice as a side dish for hot pot which I love. Garlic chips add a nice crunchy touch, but in a rush you can skip it and this will be a meal that comes together in minutes!

"the smell of garlic and butter in a place with no ventilation." lmao. my heaven.

Ya….I loved that too 😊

[@amnothsovann6252]

What i like about you, your KZbin videos, because you are so persistent on explaining why you do or why you don't do it every video you posted. You are so good at teaching!🙏

Interesting!! Garlic is life 👨🏻‍🍳😁 thanks Pai!

[@sumxiongluv1728]

I love all your little funnies you make throughout the video. Shows the viewers you are 100% yourself.

I have eaten fried rice in both Japan and Thailand and liked both types and I started eating rice after going to Thailand decades ago when the government sent me there. Before that I was against rice since my mother didn't know much about how to cook it and turned me off to it. The garlic fried rice you made does look nice and must be so delicious too.

[@Joe_Murphy-REV_Realty]

Mind BLOWN!!!!! I had NO idea that you can use butter AND soy sauce together. This was awesome! Thank you, Pailin! You are wonderful.

[@rkmugen]

Hey Pai, have you ever come across corned beef fried rice? It's the kind of thing you'd find more commonly in Filipino households, but it is crazy delicious. It's practically dark magic, how one can turn an unassuming rectangular/trapezoidal tin can of a finely-shredded brick of corned beef into a fried rice dish that is savory, meaty, aromatic, cozy, and simultaneously filling and addicting. And then they have their 'adobo' fried rice.....

IKR I'm a witching hour (3am) guy as well. Everything is quite, the world is asleep it seems, watching my dogs sleep, having my coffee, and watching these awesome video's, undisturbed before the world awakens. Great comment as it fits me perfect. Cheers Chuck!

[@kuyaleinad4195]

I dunno why but adding pepper before the rice taste a lot nicer than adding it after. It’s what I do to make garlicky peppery Filipino garlic fried rice 😋 Same with frying a sunny side up actually. Adding the pepper and salt whilst the egg’s still partially cooked tastes a lot better than when you add it in the end 👀

[@johnnyrondo709]

Wow it looks fabulous. I love when Pai makes simple mistakes, that we all do and doesn't edit them out.Just real life cooking. He response is so cute! Going to the Asian store today with our Thai friend and grab these ingredients. Thank you Pai!!

[@trudymccann3671]

I too love fried rice. Usually, make mine with brown rice, carrots, onion, egg, soy sauce (Bragg's), & EVOO *Extra Virgin Olive Oil. I have Organic garlic on hand, free range eggs, brown rice, celery, carrots, & the Sea Weed Sprinkles! I just purchased them last week on a Whim! IPlus, those garlic chips, look Amazing! You are a Good Teacher! Thank You!

[@eveleynce]

an alternative to the hondashi is a good stock cube of whatever flavor your prefer also dissolved in water

[@RaisUddin-tq6jd]

Very good Rice making

[@fangirl911]

I love watching pailin's cooking video but today i just realized that she's super cute during the awkward-waiting-for-the-egg part 😂

Been a big fan of you and the way you explain everything for quite some time now... Today I ordered your cookbook. Can't wait for it to arrive! Long overdue that I add Thai kitchen to my mainly European cooking skills! Please keep on with your great work!

[@dramascom]

Made it yesterday : turned out reaaaaaaally good!! 🙀 The dashi does bring a delicious saltiness to the combination. And the best part? It was still delicious when cold! The garlicky flavor of it was even enhanced... Thank you!!! ❤️

This will easily be my favourite fried rice recipe! I tried to make this dish with a bit of tweak by substituting anchovy dashida for hondashi powder and the result was super. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

[@opwave79]

Love the addition of hondashi to garlic fried rice! I’m gonna try it for sure. I’m always making garlic fried rice because you can add anything to it.

Ive had an unopened jar of the dashi powder for months and now I can use it for this! Had a hard time finding an easy recipe to use it for! Thanks!

[@cathys949]

Looks so easy and delish! Now I have another use for that little jar of Dashi I bought last year and is in the back of my fridge!

[@sunnychung9212]

I am making this for lunch at work! Thanks for the recipe, Pai!

[@glennlopez6772]

Just for the rice! A must with protein. Fish sauce and seaweed powder make this an exotic dish but difficult to find in some parts of the world. Plus points of the video: Skidding the spatula over the rice is better than forking it down, to open up the clumps. No shocking looped music. Three custom sound effects. Crispy garlic garnish. ( could have added fried onions ) Minus points: The black burnt oil on the wok. Tip: use laundry bleach occasionally followed by scouring powder to make it look like new. Specially around the rivets. ( I'll have to eat out if a blacker wok at a restaurant!) Personal charm: 9/10 (a little over the top. Sharing your secret was sincere. Thanks for the video!

[@eyesandearsunison6269]

Thanks! Simple side dish. Always in need of those...👍

Thank you for yet another great dish recipe and such a fun video to watch! I have a feeling it will be as popular in our home as the garlic noodles. Am sure it will be worth the effort even making the garlic chips from scratch. Can't wait to try it!

That instant dashi powder is so good. I ended up using it in heaps of things, a bit like using chicken stock powder but even better.

Looks so good. It reminds me of the Filipino style garlic rice.

I made this tonight for dinner and it was YUM! The secret ingredient gives it a smoked fish flavor that I love. Thank you for sharing this recipe. It's a keeper and will be making it again! ^^

[@lerchan]

This is something I cook at home all the time I always have leftover rice sitting cold in my fridge. It goes well with simple garlic chicken or asian soy styled steak.

[@leafsoup]

Rice fries better cooled off too. Gets kinda mushy if you try frying it right after it's done cooking.

[@lerchan]

leafsoup you can simply spread the rice on the tray, freeze it for 30 mins. In case you have no leftover rice

[@noval8379]

best wat its using long grain, so its fluffy not mushy.

[@b0rtie]

What a coincidence! I bought the same box of hondashi today. I like adding it to a lot of things, like Japanese curry or stir-fry noodles for that extra umph. I’ll have to try this recipe out sometime. Also, I’ve done fried garlic chips and fried shallot in the microwave before. You just have to be super careful and do it in like 30 second spurts. It takes about 2 minutes total depending on your microwave, and in this way I don’t have to use a pot or pan for this process lol.

[@bereanbuddy3822]

thanks i have for longest time wanted to know how to make garlic sauce its my favorite sauce for everything

[@rkmugen]

I like to top my fried rice (and pretty much a LOT of Asian dishes, for that matter) with furikake, which is a mixture of just fine-shredded dried seaweed (nori?) with toasted sesame seeds, sea salt, and sugar. The brand of pre-mixed furikake that I found comes in a neat shaker bottle.
